STORM LAKE, Iowa (May 11, 2022) – Fresh off a tune-up in the USD Twilight, Buena Vista Track and Field teams will travel to Dubuque next for the three-day A-R-C Conference Championship meet.  
Day one of competition will commence at 1:00 p.m. on May 12th, day two will get underway at 9:00 a.m. on May 13, and day three will start at 10:00 a.m. on May 14.
 
WOMEN
The women's squad will look to build off a sixth-place finish at the outdoor championship meet a season ago. The performance showed progress for the program as they scored more than 60 points for the first time since 2016. The meet also marked the Beaver's first championship meet with multiple conference champions since claiming three in 2003.

The 2022 squad will benefit from the return of multiple conference champions and key performers from a year ago. Becca Simpson returns as the reigning javelin champion after a stadium record throw of 40.70m to win the title by nearly nine feet. Simpson barely missed another podium finish in the hammer throw, but came up six feet short and settled for fourth place overall with a toss of 49.44m. Jessica Sump returns as the long jump champion. Sump barely missed a second podium, finishing 4th in the 100m hurdles. Jadyn Forbes returns after 3rd place finish in the 800 a year ago with a time of 2:19.32. Tabitha Guyett was two seconds off a podium finish in the 400m hurdles, finishing 4th with a time of 1:04.69.
