North Central College is favored to secure its eighth consecutive first-place finish at the upcoming College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Men's Indoor Track & Field Championship. The event will take place this Friday and Saturday in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
A pre-championship poll conducted among league head coaches placed North Central at the top, with the team receiving eight first-place votes and a total of 64 points. The Cardinals are currently ranked 11th in the USTFCCCA Division III ratings index, making them the only CCIW team to appear in the top 25. Since 2001, North Central has claimed all but one of the CCIW indoor titles.
