The 2012 Great Lakes Valley Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championship will be hosted at the Michael J. Vallone/Class of 1960 Track and Field Complex on May 4-5. The 2012 event will mark the 17th year for the GLVC Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
In 2011, Indianapolis claimed its second straight men's title and the Greyhounds' fourth overall. Former GLVC member SIU Edwardsville holds the most GLVC Outdoor Track & Field crowns with five. Lewis (3) and Missouri S&T (1) have also staked claim to a men's outdoor title.
Last year's GLVC Women's Outdoor Championship was also claimed by UIndy. It was the third straight outdoor title for the Greyhounds, who have now won a record five overall. Lewis and former GLVC member SIU Edwardsville are tied for the second-most women's outdoor championships with each institution having claimed four titles.
