The next chapter of the outdoor track & field season takes place this weekend as the Big West clubs head to the familiar confines of Matador Track for the NCAA West Regional Championships. The meet is the next step for athletes to qualify for the NCAA Championship meet in mid-June.
All eight conference teams will have athletes in competition during the two-day meet, which will take place at the same site as the Big West Championships two weeks ago. The top five finishers in each individual event and the top three teams in the relays will gain automatic berths into the NCAA Championships, while the rest of the competitors will need at-large invites following their performances at the West Regional Championships.
