The William Jewell men's and women's track and field teams head to Indianapolis, Indiana this weekend for the 2020 Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Championships. The Cardinals will be led by senior Ryan Hoffman, who is coming off a 2019 decathlon championship at the outdoor meet as well as junior Taylor Golden who is an All-GLVC performer during her career. 

The GLVC Sports Network (GLVCSN) will stream nearly 13 hours of the 2020 GLVC Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships, which are set to take place at the Athletics & Recreation Center (ARC) on the campus of the University of Indianapolis. The 2020 edition marks the 21st annual GLVC Indoor Track & Field Championships.

The two-day event will once again be available for free on GLVCSN.com, the GLVCSN iOS and Android mobile apps, and GLVCSN OTT apps on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV.

GLVCSN will begin streaming at 3:15 p.m. (all times ET) on Saturday, which is 15 minutes prior to the start of the men's pole vault and two hours ahead of the day's first running event, the preliminaries of the women's and men's 60-meter hurdles.  Coverage will continue throughout the day with live action of the 60-, 200- and 400-meter dash preliminaries as well as the finals of the 5,000-meter run and the distance medley relay.  Saturday's streaming, which concludes at 8:45 p.m., will also feature the awards ceremonies for the men's pole vault, the men's and women's long jump and weight throw, and the pentathlon.  Coverage of the aforementioned field events will be provided throughout the afternoon. 

On Sunday, coverage begins at 11:15 a.m. and will lead into the women's triple jump and men's shot put and high jump, which begin simultaneously at 11:30 a.m.  The men's triple jump, and women's shot put, high jump and pole vault will follow around 1:30 p.m.  GLVCSN will air both the women's and men's mile, along with the finals of the 60-, 200-, 400- and 800-, and 3,000-meter runs, as well as the 60-meter hurdles and the 4x400-meter relay as the meet's finale.  All event award winners, including the men's heptathlon champion will be featured during Sunday's live action.  

Following the conclusion of the meet, GLVCSN will remain online to bring fans the GLVC Championships awards ceremony, which will honor the Track Athlete, Field Athlete, Freshman and Coach of the Year on both the men's and women's side, along with the 2020 GLVC team champions.  

In 2019, UIndy successfully defended its men's title, scoring 163 points to beat runner-up McKendree (125) by 38 points.  The margin of victory was the largest at the GLVC Championship meet since UIndy defeated Missouri S&T 200-98 in 2013.

The Greyhounds own six GLVC indoor titles, followed by Lewis with five.  Former GLVC member SIU Edwardsville follows with four, while Missouri S&T has earned one.  

Lewis captured the 2019 women's title in record fashion scoring 168.5 points to edge out UIndy (167) by one-and-a-half points to set the narrowest margin of victory in the Championships' 20-year history.  In 2018, Bellarmine set the GLVC record after the Knights defeated Lewis by four points, 143-139.

Action gets underway Saturday with the women's pentathlon and men's heptathlon events beginning at 9 a.m. and 9:25 a.m. ET, respectively.  Field events will be contested at 3:30 p.m., with running events starting at 4 p.m.

A two-day pass is available for $15, while a one-day adult ticket is $10.  Students with a valid college ID, youth aged 6 thru 12^th grade, and seniors aged 60 and over are admitted for $5, while children 5 and under are free of charge.
