Meet Information
The 2023 NCAA Indoor Championships will take place at the Albuquerque Convention Center and will be a two-day meet on Friday, March 10 and Saturday, March 11. The last time this championship was set to run in Albuquerque, the world was shut down from the COVID-19 pandemic. That was three years ago and now we are back in the Land of Enchantment and the Gamecocks are ready.
Friday will feature mostly prelim events, while Saturday will be heavy with finals. The top eight scorers in each event will result in points for their teams in the following format (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1). All-American statuses will be up for grabs this weekend. First Team All-American status is awarded to finishers 1-8 (individual and relays), while Second Team All-American is given to those who finish 9-16 (individual and relays). Athletes must have a valid mark to earn All-American status. Meaning those who do not finish a race, no height, foul three attempts or are disqualified will not be eligible for All-American status if no other valid mark from a previous round exists.
The meet will start on Friday at 9:50 a.m. (MST) / 11:50 a.m. (EST) with the women’s pentathlon 60-meter hurdles. The first Gamecock to appear on Friday will be Silan Ayyildiz in the women’s mile semifinals at 4 p.m. (MST) / 6 p.m. (EST).
