While most of the Syracuse Orange fans focus on Selection Sunday, three members of the Syracuse Orange track and field team are already through to the “Sweet 16” of Indoor Track. The trio have qualified for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in College Station, Texas. We can call it the “Sweet 16” because only 16 athletes (16 men and 16 women) in each event get to compete.
The competition gets underway on Friday evening and the first Orange athlete to take to the track is Adam Palamar in the Mile.
