Live video of the meet will be available at NCAA.com.

Salisbury senior Luke Campbell headlines the list of CAC qualfiers, as Campbell will be making his fourth appearance at the outdoor championships and is looking to defend his national titles in both the 110- and 400-meter hurdles. He is currently ranked second in the country in the 110 hurdles and seeking his fourth-straight national championship in the event.

In the 400 hurdles, Campbell holds the top spot in the country and is looking for his third-straight national title in the event. In all, he currently holds nine total individual national championships, including his three indoor 60-meter hurdles titles. By taking home at least one national championship during the outdoor meet, Campbell would set the Division III record for most individual national titles between the indoor and outdoor seasons.

Campbell will also be competing in the 4x400 relay, seeded seventh along with Jerel Madison, Zach Schmelz, and Eric Halton.

The Wesley 4x400 squad of Vicco Bedell, Nick Stenderowicz, DaJahn Lowery, and Carlton Sheppard is seeded 12th. Wesley's 4x100 relay of De'Vaughn Trader, Lowery, Anthony Simpson, and Greg Taylor enters as the top seed. 

A trio of individuals will compete in the 100 meter dash, with Wesley's Simpson entering as the top seed. York's Darnell Tillman (16th) and Christopher Newport's Ryan Scott (19th) are also in the field. 

Frostburg State's J.R. Lowery will compete in multiple events as the representative for the Bobcats. Lowery enters as the fourth seed in the shot put and 17th seed in the hammer throw. 

Wesley's Trader will compete in the long jump as the 10th seed, while Penn State Harrisburg's Cameron Yon is the program's first-ever NCAA qualifier in the discus throw, entering as the 14th seed. 

On the women's side, a pair of Wesley relays will be competing. The 4x100 team of Briana Artis, Elizsha Streeter, Angel Hall, and Evelina Sloboh are seeded eighth, while the 4x400 team of Hall, Streeter, Quadira Minus, and Artis are seeded sixth.
