CINCINNATI - Xavier indoor track and field travels to the BIG EAST Indoor Track and Field Championships on Feb. 24-25. The two-day meet is being held at the Ocean Breeze Track and Field Athletic Complex in Staten Island, N.Y.

The Musketeers are coming off one of their most successful regular season's in program history as the men's and women's teams have combined to set 15 school records this year. Xavier set a school record in every indoor meet this season.

Last year, the Xavier men placed seventh in the final team standings, while the women took eighth. Xavier established five school records at the indoor championship meet.

The Musketeers return two individual all-conference honorees on the women's side in Sydney Larkin (500-meter dash) and Kara Robinson (60-meter hurdles). Both athletes placed third at the indoor championships.

One the men's side, Zachary Polk looks to defend his title in the long jump. Russell Platt also earned all-conference honors a year ago with a third-place finish in the 60-meter dash.

Below is meet information along with where the Musketeers rank individually in the BIG EAST this season and the school records they broke this year.
