The Marshall University track and field team opens competition Wednesday in the 2016 Conference USA Indoor Championships in Birmingham, Alabama.
The meet will be held at the Birmingham Crossplex.
Senior Shanice Johnson said she is concerned about competing on the banked track.
“It will be the first time I’ll be running on a banked 200-meter track, but you have to know how to run on one in order to run great on it,” Johnson said. “But it seems like the team is ready.”
The top athletes to finish each event will earn all-conference and first team honors, second team honors or third team honors depending on the order each competitor finishes.
