Conference Carolinas

Starting at the beginning of the 2012-13 academic year, member athletics directors began exploring the possibility of adding both men’s & women’s indoor track & field. League bylaws state that at least six member institutions must sponsor a sport before it can become an official conference sport with a league championship conclusion.  Conference members joined-in with overwhelming support and eight current members will participate in this year’s championship. Conference Carolinas indoor track & field teams will be made-up of: Barton, Belmont Abbey, King, Lees-McRae, Limestone, Mount Olive, North Greenville, and Queens.

The final piece of the puzzle for the league was finding a willing and capable facility to host the conference championships.  That was recently shored-up as the league championships will be at the state of the art JDL Fast Track Indoor Track & Field in Winston Salem, NC on Saturday, February 16. 

JDL Fast Track recently opened in February of 2012.  The NCAA announced last week that JDL Fast Track would host the DII National Championships in 2014 by local host institution Winston Salem State University.

By having a championship event, Conference Carolinas indoor track & field student-athletes will now compete for a team league championship, individual all-conference awards, and points to leagues overall ‘Joby Hawn’ sports cup.
