Little Rock at the OVC Indoor Championship
Since joining the Ohio Valley Conference in the summer of 2022, both the Trojan men and women have finished in the top two at every conference meet. A year ago, Little Rock and Southeast Missouri State University battled for the top two spots on both sides, and this season shapes up to be no different as the teams prepare for another showdown on the track and in the field.
The Trojans will look to rely on their strengths in the sprints and jumps as they chase more hardware this week.
Coach Speak
"It's always exciting to go head-to-head with the rest of the OVC. Most of the season, you're competing for time or a personal best, but at this meet, it's all about placing, which requires a slightly different mindset. I expect the Trojans to be ready and perform at a very high level over the two days," said head coach
J.P. Behnke.
