The Golden Gopher women’s track & field team has traveled to Columbus, Ohio, this weekend to compete in the 2009 Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Minnesota, with team titles captured in cross country and indoor track this season, chase the unofficial Big Ten “triple crown.”
A roster of 34 student-athletes headed to Columbus and is preparing for the start of the meet on Friday. Before then, some work (several Gophers get to take final exams on the trip) and some play are in order on Thursday. The first video takes Gopher fans on a fun team activity. Later Thursday afternoon, it’s time to head to the track for a light workout and to check out the facility. After a team meal, the evening ends with a team meeting. Then, it’s lights out as the Championships begins on Friday with finals in the pole vault, hammer and 10,000 meters and the first day of events in the heptathlon.
