CLEVELAND, Ohio- The Mid-American Conference announced its 2016-17 indoor track and field coaches' preseason poll Friday morning, with Kent State's men's and women's teams both selected to finish third.
Voting predicted identical top-three finishers on the men's and women's sides, with Eastern Michigan capturing both championships, Akron finishing second, followed by Kent State in third.
The Golden Flashes' women's team was picked to finish third out of the 12 women's programs in the conference, while men's team was picked to finish third out of the five men's programs in the conference.
At last year's Indoor MAC Championships, the men's team scored 109 points and the women's team scored 87 points as both teams finished in third place overall.
