Championships notes: The championships site moves for the first time since 1995 after a five-year run at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. Abilene Christian is riding a seven-year winning streak and has won 11 of the 14 titles in the history of the championships. Last year, the Wildcats racked up 119 points, an all-divisions women's track and field championships record. Twins Shawntel and Dawnyel Newhouse appear primed to lead Abilene Christian this year. Shawntel currently is ranked first in the country in the 55-meter hurdles, and Dawnyel is second in the long jump and sixth in the triple jump. The Wildcats can expect a strong challenge from North Dakota State. Bison athletes hold the top spot in the 800-meter run (Cortney Ward) and weight throw (Diandra Bauer), and are second in the 400-meter dash, shot put and 1,600-meter relay.
