The Kennesaw State women's track and field team heads to the Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships in search of their first conference title at the JDL Fast Track in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
JDL Fast Track
JDL Fast Track is quickly becoming one of the premier indoor track and field facilities in the southeast.
The dedicated indoor track and field facility, which opened in January 2012, houses a 200-meter oval track with a Mondotrack FTX surface—the same surface that was used at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Field event areas include two pole vault runways, two long/triple jump runways, one high jump apron and one throws area.
The facility also includes a 100-meter warm-up track, office and meeting-room space, a training room, and hospitality suites for coaches' or conference officials' meetings at large events.

THE COMPETITION
The Owls will compete against: Lipscomb, NJIT, North Florida, Jacksonville and USC Upstate
Scoring Change for ASUN Championships
With their only being six teams in the conference this season the coaches put in a policy change that only the top 6 places in an event will score instead of the top 8 places in years past. If the conference adds more two or more teams to push the number to eight or more the conference championships will go back to scoring eight places.
