The women’s track and field team at Appalachian State has been working hard all season long to build a legacy as a dominant team in the Sun Belt Conference. That hard work has finally paid off with the Mountaineers capturing the first Sun Belt title in school history.
Both the men’s and women’s track and field teams competed in the Sun Belt Indoor Conference Championships in Birmingham, Alabama, on Feb. 23. The men took home fifth place, while the women finished first and earned App State’s first ever Sun Belt title. The team is hoping to use this win as a springboard into the outdoor season as well as the first step to building a legacy as a strong competitor in this new, more challenging conference, junior sprinter and jumper Darlene Girardeau said.
