To All:
Excellent news... The best thing to possibly ever hit collegiate athletics, especially Track & Field,  arrived last year when the University of Richmond became the first school to ever web-cast/web-stream an entire track & field meet live from start to finish through our web site.  Every section of every running event could be watched live and commercial free to those with high speed internet access. 

Our Sports Information Office has teamed up with our conference office to provide fans with the ability to watch live on-site coverage of the 2008 Atlantic 10 Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships to be held in Rhode Island this weekend.  Anyone not traveling to the meet will be able to watch the running events live provided they have internet access (high speed will work best).  West Virginia's own Andrew Benford (Ravenswood HS, WV) will compete in the men's 3000M race on Saturday at 6:50PM.  A sophomore for the Spiders program, Benford recently ran a personal best of 8:27.14 in the 3000M event.  Last year he was crowned "Rookie of the Year" for the Atlantic 10 Conference as well as finishing 12th over-all in the World Mountain Running Championships held in Bursa, Turkey.  Going into the championships race he is seeded 4th.

Again, the Atlantic 10 Conference is happy to announce plans to provide a free web-stream of the Atlantic 10 Indoor Track & Field Championships this Saturday, February 16th. The Women’s Championships will begin at 9:00 a.m. and the Men’s Championships will begin (approximately 3:15 p.m.) shortly following the Women’s awards ceremony. The link to log onto the Championships will be provided on the Richmond Spiders track & field page located at the following URL: http://richmondspiders.cstv.com/sports/c-track/rich-c-track-body.html  You will also be able to access the video feed through the Atlantic 10 Conference website under the Indoor Track & Field page: http://atlantic10.cstv.com/sports/c-itrack/atl10-c-itrack-body.html

So, find a computer with high speed internet access and enjoy...Please find the event schedule below.
My best regards,
Coach Steve Taylor
