The NEC hopes to make this event a memorable experience for student-athletes and fans alike. With the state-of-the-art P.G. County Sports Complex providing the atmopshere, this championship should be an exciting one with twenty-four hard-working, talented teams vying for NEC supremecy. Now in its 28th season, the NEC is proud to once again bring its indoor track and field champion- ships to Landover, MD. Consisting of 11 institutions of higher learning located throughout five states, the NEC is committed to being an NCAA Division I leader for student-athlete achievement, integrity, competitiveness and engagement in national policy. NEC member institutions include Central Connecticut State, Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Monmouth, Mount St. Mary's, Quin- nipiac, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart, St. Francis (NY), Saint Francis (PA) and Wagner. Additionally, Bryant University will become a core member of the NEC in 2012 upon completion of the five-year NCAA Division I reclassification period. The NEC encompasses five states and a variety of diverse locations, from the bustling activity of Brooklyn, NY to the rural setting of Loretto, PA to the beaches and shoreline of West Long Branch, NJ. But when it comes to intercollegiate athletics, the goal of the NEC is consistent - to provide its members the opportunity to participate in quality competition at the Division I level while operating programs that are fully integrated in the academic mission of each institution. NEC athletic programs truly focus on putting the student in the term student-athlete. The NEC placed among the top NCAA Division I conferences with the release of the first Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures and also ranked among the nation's elite in Graduation Success Rate (GSR) figures in each of the last two years. During the 2007-08 academic year, more than 1,600 student-athletes earned a place on the NEC Academic Honor Roll, an astounding 47 percent increase from the previous year, while 258 were named to the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll with GPAs of 3.75 or higher. NEC graduation rates for student-athletes are consistently higher than those of non-athletes.
