CHARLOTTE, North Carolina – Six teams from Johnson C. Smith University will travel to Petersburg, Virginia for the 2013 CIAA Spring Sports Championships hosted by Virginia State University on April 18-20. The Golden Bulls men's and women's track and field, men's and women's tennis, softball, and golf teams have all qualified for championship competition this spring.
After an impressive home meet during the JCSU Invitational, both the men's and women's track and field teams will compete for a 2013 outdoor conference championship. Saint Augustine's is considered the favorite, but the JCSU women's team has a solid opportunity to contend. Junior Danielle Williams is ranked number 1 in Division II for the 200m dash and earned the 2013 CIAA Indoor Track MVP. Williams won the 60m dash, 60m hurdles, and 200m dash during the conference indoor season.
The men's and women's 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams are projected to finish in the top three amongst the conference.
On the tennis courts, Shaw University is the favorite on the men's and women's side. Shaw is number one in the Southern Division and undefeated in the CIAA for both men's and women's competition. The Golden Bulls' women's team finished the regular season with a record of 10-14 overall and 10-6 in the CIAA. The men's team has showcased some talent this season, despite a 4-18 overall mark and 4-8 record in the conference. JCSU won its last CIAA Tennis Championship in 2004 on the men's side.
After splitting games with Benedict College, the Golden Bulls softball team concluded the regular season with a record of 11-26 overall and 6-11 in the CIAA. JCSU advances to the double elimination tournament as the fourth and final seed out of the Southern Division. Both JCSU and Shaw finished with 4-6 record in the division, but the Golden Bulls claimed the final seed due to victories in head to head competition against the Lady Bears.
JCSU golf will square off with divisional winners Fayetteville State (Southern) and Virginia State (Northern) for the top spot in the conference. The team did not finish with a team score in last year's championships and took ninth place in 2011. The Golden Bulls have made strides this season, including two third place finishes at the last two CIAA golf events.
Competition for tennis, softball, and golf will be held from April 18-20. Track and field events will begin on Friday, April 19th and conclude on April 20th. All events will be on the campus of VSU with the exception of golf competition. The golf championship will be determined on the Cardinal Golf Course in nearby Fort Lee, Virginia.
