Three Things to Know

1. Can the Trojans Defy Expectations?
   Little Rock was picked to finish sixth on the men's side and eighth on the women's side in the preseason polls but the Trojans have had several standout performances that have made the conference take notice this season. Will Little Rock defy the league's expectations?
2. Can the Trojans Continue to Improve?
   Last season, Little Rock's men registered their best team finish since 2014 while the women posted one of their stronger performances in recent years. Can both sides continue to improve in this year's championship meet?
3. Fly Like a Bird
   Sophomore Spencer Cardinal will be the key runner to watch as the Trojan runner won two races this season and claimed one Sun Belt Runner of the Week honor. Look for him to make a charge at a top-10 finish in this year's championship race.
