Final Results
Â
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Florida Atlantic University women's track & field team completed the indoor slate at the 2020 Conference USA Indoor Track & Field Championships on Sunday. The Owls finished 13th with nine points, just one point behind 12th-place Western Kentucky.
Â
"Weekends like this one can be very frustrating, as we are obviously not where we would like to be as a team," said head coach Alex Smolka. "However, we had so many personal records and strong performances! We have a great group of student-athletes that work very hard and we do have the PRs to show how much progress is being made, but we just don't have the overall results we are looking for yet! It's exciting and encouraging that we were able to score points in the field events with Simpson's triple jump, the hurdles with Schmalz' 60m hurdles, distance with Jonsson's 800m, as well as the 4x400m relay!"
Â
The Owls have completed the indoor slate and will take on the outdoor season with their first meet taking place on March 20-21 in Miami for the Hurricane Invitational.
