OMAHA, Neb. – The Omaha track & field team is headed to Fort Wayne, Ind. this weekend for the Summit League Indoor Track & Field Championships presented by U.S. Air Force Special Warfare.
The meet begins at 8:30 a.m. CT each day from the Lutheran Health Fieldhouse on the campus of Purdue Fort Wayne.
