What to Watch For
• The Husky Classic will likely feature a handful of distance harriers for the Grizzlies. With the RMAC Indoor Track & Field Championships just two weeks away, many of the Grizzlies will look to improve their seeding.
• Along with a number quality opponents at the Division I level, the Husky Classic will also feature some professional athletes and independent club athletes.
• The ASU NCAA Qualifier will give conference teams a sneak peek at the facility prior to the conference championships. Adams State will also have a majority of their athletes at home to improve their marks and times.
• A handful of athletes have already hit automatic qualifying and provisional marks/times this indoor season. With a few of the conference teams competing in Alamosa, the Grizzlies will get a chance to see how they stack up against the competition.
• Competing in the ASU NCAA Qualifier this weekend will be Colorado Mesa, Western Colorado, Johnson & Wales (CO), and Trinidad State Junior College.
