BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Samford University track and field teams will be hosting their biggest competition of the 2017 spring season this week as the Bulldogs welcome some of the top athletes in the Southeast to the 2017 Southern Conference Outdoor Championships, which will be held Thursday and Friday at the Samford Track and Soccer Stadium.
The Bulldogs, who have only been members of the SoCon for nine years now, will be hosting the league's top meet for the third time in seven seasons and the second time in three years. The 2017 SoCon Championships will be the 93rd edition of the men's tournament and the 31st of the women's.
Last year, Samford's women's team placed second in the outdoor championships, while the Bulldogs' men's team earned a third-place finish.
Western Carolina swept the 2016 SoCon Outdoor Track and Field Championships by winning the men's title and pulling out a back-and-forth women's title in the final event held at the Catamount Athletic Complex. The title sweep was the Catamounts' first since 2013.
Among current SoCon members, VMI owns the most SoCon outdoor men's team titles with 14, while Western Carolina leads all active women's squads with nine.
In February, Samford's women's team collected its second straight SoCon Indoor Championship as the Bulldogs blew away the competition with 208 total points en route to a dominant 56.5-point margin of victory over second-place Western Carolina (151.5) at the Mountain States Health Alliance Athletics Center on the campus of East Tennessee State University.
Samford's men also turned in a record-setting performance at the 2017 SoCon Indoor Championships. The Bulldogs placed second in the event for a second straight season and moved one step closer to upending the Catamounts for the annual indoor title.
Western Carolina compiled 170 points on the men's side, while Samford came close to earning the championship at 155. Homestanding ETSU took third place (137), while Furman finished in fourth place (87) and The Citadel garnered 57 points. Wofford earned 44 points to take sixth place as UNCG tallied four points to round out the group.
On the women's side, Samford scored 208 points to claim the title as the Catamounts registered 151.5 points two earn the runner-up trophy. ETSU (107.5 points) and Furman (97 points) claimed third and fourth place, respectively.
The 2017 SoCon Outdoor Championships are slated to begin Thursday at 8 a.m. (CT) with the women's 10,000-meter run. The final scheduled event of the day is the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase, which is tabbed to begin at 5:40 p.m.
On Friday, the final day of competition is scheduled to begin at 8:45 a.m., with the decathlon. The SoCon Championships will then come to a thrilling end with the highly-anticipated 4x400-meter relay on both the women's and men's sides. The women's event is slated to begin at 4:25 p.m., with the men's following at 4:35 p.m.
