NORFOLK, Va. – The 2025 MEAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships are set for May 15-17 at William Dick Price Stadium in Norfolk, Va. North Carolina Central's men's and women's track & field teams are set to compete against the seven other conference institutions.
The championships begin on Thursday with the men's decathlon at 1 p.m. The men's and women's discus, high jump and 10,000m champions will be crowned on day one.
Friday's events include long jump, shot put, 3,000m steeplechase and hammer, along with all track preliminary races.
On the final day, all race events in the oval will go final. Pole vault, triple jump and javelin events will also wrap up to conclude the championships. Saturday's competition will be live streamed on ESPN+ starting at 1 p.m.
The Eagles had eight medalists in last year's outdoor championships, with both teams finishing sixth. At the indoor championships this season, the men's team also finished sixth and the women's team earned its highest finish ever in the Division I era, placing third.
Tickets for the championships are available online only HERE. All-Tournament passes are a one-time fee of $40, which grants access each day. Daily passes cost $15 per day.
