There's one month until the NCAA championships. Unlike some college students, these student-athletes aren’t wasting any free time to get their marks in. With the UW Husky Classic coming up this weekend, procrastination takes a back seat to handing in a first draft to the Sweet 16 list.

 

If these guys and gals want to make it to Fayetteville, AR, they’re not only going to have to post solid times, but they’re going to have to beat as many people in the field as possible. After all, who wants to wait until the last minute to submit something (e.g.: Last Chance Weekend)?

 

The middle and distance events are loaded for both genders. We considered listing the entire fields for the highlights, but check out the “abbreviated” version of what you should keep an eye on during the UW Husky Classic.
