WILKES-BARRE, PA (February 26, 2025) -- There are just two more days until the opening day of the 2025 Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Indoor Track and Field Championships, and the King's College men's and women's indoor track and field programs are prepped and ready for another successful weekend. This year's championships return to the campus of Alvernia University at The PLEX.

The Pre-Championship Coaches' Poll was released earlier this week and saw the King's women slated sixth of the 16 MAC programs, while the men were voted to finish ninth. The weekend is set for some exciting performances from our Monarchs, including plenty of opportunities to return to Wilkes-Barre with some hardware.

Action is set to begin on Friday afternoon at 12:15 p.m. with the heptathlon 60-meter dash, and Saturday's events will begin at 9:45 with the heptathlon 60 meter hurdles. For all your championship needs, please visit the MAC Championship Central here.
