If you’re a runner yourself, take a break from the slew of 5ks, 10ks and marathons that are so prevalent in town, sit back and watch the feet of the nation’s best collegiate athletes hit the track. On June 7-10, the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships return to Hayward Field. This will be the 15th year that Hayward Field hosts the championships, “more than any other venue in the history of the meet,” according to GoTrackTownUSA’s website. Whether you’re an avid track and field fan, or you have never been to a meet before, the NCAA Championships has a diverse array of events throughout its four days — a little something for everyone. Both women and men will be competing in a wide range of events, from steeplechase, shot put and pole vault to the 100-meter dash and hurdles. The 2017 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships is Wednesday, June 7, to Saturday, June 10. Tickets range from $11-$29 per day, and $22-$58 for the whole championship.
