CIAA Indoors Championships will be at Winston-Salem's JDL Fast Track

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Many of the best athletes in the country will be on display Sunday and Monday in the CIAA Indoor Track & Field Championships at the JDL Fast Track.

Coach Inez Turner of the WSSU women says her team is just as talented as St. Augustine’s, the two-time defending champion.

“We don’t back down to anybody,” Turner said. “I’m very excited about how well we have trained — and they are ready to have a good couple of days.”

What gives Turner’s 20 athletes a shot of confidence is how they did last month in winning a meet in Geneva, Ohio; the Rams piled up 165 points to beat 11 other Division II schools.

“We had a lot of good performances in that meet and I think that will get them believing a lot more as we head into the CIAA championships,” Turner said.
