FARMINGTON, Utah (January 4, 2022) - The league office announced the Preseason Indoor Track and Field Coaches' Poll results on Tuesday, naming the Northern Arizona men and women unanimous favorites after both teams received all 11 conference head coach first-place votes.
Although the Big Sky has not hosted an indoor championship since 2020, due to the global pandemic, the NAU men and women will enter this season as defending champions.
Historically, the Lumberjack men have won 23 indoor team titles, and have dominated the conference for nine consecutive years.
Meanwhile the women lead the league with a total of 14 team titles and have been on a hot streak of their own, claiming three of the four previous trophies.
Northern Arizona has swept the Big Sky Conference Championship 11 times in program history and looks to repeat their success once again.
Big Sky Championships will be held in Bozeman, Mont. on Feb. 24-26.
