RAPID CITY, SD --- The South Dakota Mines men's and women's outdoor track and field teams will travel to Pueblo, Colorado to compete in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship this weekend. The meet will be held at the Thunderbowl on the campus of Colorado State University Pueblo. The meet will begin on Friday, April 30 and conclude on Sunday, May 2.

The 'Rockers will send 42 men and women athletes to the championship.

Head coach Steve Johnson is looking forward to the meet.
