Cessna Stadium is the site of the last Missouri Valley Conference championship decided on Wichita State’s campus. That is fitting, given the importance Wichita State’s track and field team puts on the conference meet.
From a team perspective, it is the priority. NCAA regional and national meets are largely about individual goals.
“The Valley has been the focus of our program,” WSU assistant director of track and field John Wise said. “We’re excited about the new conference, but we want to be respectful of the Valley. We want to give proper attention to our history.”
WSU will leave the MVC for the American Athletic Conference on July 1.
