NCAC 40th Anniversary Men's Indoor Track & Field All-Decade Team Announced

CLEVELAND, OH – The North Coast Athletic Conference is celebrating its 40th playing season by selecting All-Decade teams in all 23 championship sports. Student-athletes that competed in the NCAC between the 2013-14 and the 2022-23 seasons who earned Player of the Year honors, or who earned a minimum of three all-NCAC first-team nods during this time were named to the team.

In men's indoor track and field, 28 student-athletes have been recognized for their outstanding accomplishments on the track, ring, and/or pit.

Over the last 10 years, Wabash has won six indoor titles, while Ohio Wesleyan garnered three. In 2014, the Little Giants extended their streak to four-consecutive titles after earning their first crown in 2011 and completing a five-year run in 2015. The Battling Bishops reclaimed the NCAC title in 2016, the program's first since 2010, and collected three-straight to bring their overall total to a league-leading 12, before Wabash went on another streak of four-straight championships (2019-2023). No champions were crowned in 2021 due to COVID-19.

Founded in 1983, the North Coast Athletic Conference currently consists of nine academically selective NCAA Division III colleges and universities - Denison University, DePauw University, Hiram College, Kenyon College, Oberlin College, Ohio Wesleyan University, Wabash College, Wittenberg University and the College of Wooster along with affiliate members Allegheny College, Earlham College, Transylvania University and Washington & Jefferson College (field hockey). The NCAC sponsors 23 championship sports, 11 for men and 12 for women.
