CMS Awarded 2011 CA/NV Championships

In a vote of association coaches, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps has been awarded the 2011 California-Nevada Collegiate Track & Field Championships.  The prestigious meet for four-year colleges and universities in California and Nevada has a history dating back to 1994.  The meet, which will be held March 26-27, has been hosted by UCLA the past two years.  CMS will be the first Division III host for the championship in its 18-year history.  The championship is the only meet held in either state which offers scored competition between all three NCAA Divisions as well as NAIA schools.  The 2010 team champions were UCLA for the men and Cal State Northridge for the women.

Former head coach John Goldhammer, who was instrumental in bringing the meet to Claremont, stated "We are truly honored that the coaches had the faith in our ability to host a top quality championship meet.  Our goal will be to put on a high quality, fun and friendly competition that will be memorable to the athletes, coaches and spectators."
