NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships 2018: Dates and Live-Stream Schedule

Texas A&M will host the 2018 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, taking place on March 9 and 10 at the Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium in College Station.

Last year, the Aggies' men's team narrowly beat Florida to top spot in the overall rankings, while Oregon ran away with the women's competition.

Oregon came into last year's championships as defending champions in the men's and women's competition but could only manage a third-placed finish in the former, landing well behind the hosts and Florida. The Gators pushed the Aggies all the way, eventually falling a half-point short of the top spot.

The entire competition came down to the final event, the 4x400 meters, where the Gators held the lead going into the final leg. Fred Kerley anchored a sensational comeback, however, as shared by the school's official YouTube channel:

The women's competition wasn't nearly as close, as Oregon finished with a remarkable 84 points, 33 more than second-placed Georgia. Texas A&M's men needed just 46 to win.

The Ducks won't have it so easy this year, as Oregon enter the competition ranked sixth in the nation. The current women's rankings are led by four SEC schools, with Georgia leading the way and Arkansas a close second. USC also sits ahead of Oregon by a significant margin.

In the men's rankings, Texas Tech sits ahead of Florida, while the Aggies have dropped to sixth place. Virginia Tech and Ohio State have made huge surges into the top 10, and Oregon has dropped all the way to 17th place.

Tennessee didn't even make the top 25 in the latest rankings, and it was never expected to challenge after losing Christian Coleman. The star sprinter won the 60 meters and 200 meters last year, playing a huge role in the Volunteers' top 10 finish.

The 22-year-old has since graduated and is now dominating the professionals:

USC will like its chances in the sprint events this year, as the team is headlined by a number of contenders. Michael Norman and Kendall Ellis could well sweep the 400 meters events, and senior Deanna Hill is among the favourites for the women's 200 meters.

New Mexico's Josh Kerr will be the man to beat in the mile-long race, as the defending champion posted the best time of the season a month ago, a 3:54.72. That was good enough for second place at the Millrose Games, where he raced against a host of professionals.
