Â
Davis will represent the men's team and look to solidify his spot as one of the most successful men's throwers in school history. Last season, Davis became the first men's weight throw All-American in school history. This season, he'll look to become just the sixth men's thrower to win at least two All-America honors in NC State history.
Â
On the women's side, NC State will be represented in the mile, 3,000m and 5,000m for the second-straight year. Last season, Kemp and Moye ran in the events for the Pack. The experienced duo will be joined by Rachel Koon, who is slated to compete in her first-ever NCAA track national.
Â
Kemp and Moye will look to repeat as First Team All-Americans. Both are slated to earn their third track All-America honor, and join an elite list of only 13 other women to earn at least three track All-America honors in school history.
Â
Additionally, Moye and Kemp would be two of five to earn back-to-back All-America honors in the same event at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Â
Championship Format:
The top eight finishers will score points for their team and earn First Team All-America honors, while athletes finishing 9th-16th will be award Second Team All-America honors.
Â
The meet will be broadcast on ESPN3 starting at 6:25 p.m. ET Friday and 4:55 p.m. ET Saturday.
