The energy of the Mid-American Conference meet is getting to everyone on the track and field team.
As this meet will be the first of two MAC Championships in which the team will compete, this weekend could be seen as a prediction for what will happen during the outdoor season.
Assistant coach Christi Smith has been in the athlete position before and has been to many MAC Championships herself. Smith said that it is hard to use the indoor season as an indicator for the outdoor season.
I see the MACs as a prediction of pretty much how you have trained from the summer and what you have done all winter
Smith said. Indoor is just a special little thing. It's interesting in that I don't think athletes take it as serious as outdoor and I think that as a result a lot of time performances aren't as great.
