Just a month before the Pac-12 Conference Championship at the end of February, the Pac-12 teams are gearing up and competing hard. Here are the top five storylines for this coming weekend.
Top Storylines:
- Women’s weekend. An overwhelming number of the match ups are only between the women’s teams. While there just two Pac-12 men’s teams competing this weekend, there are eight women’s teams competing. No. 15/11 Arizona will compete as a combined squad against No. 1/4 Texas and unranked Utah will compete together against Denver, but this weekend will really be a showcase for the women in the conference.
- The meet between the No. 2 Stanford women and the No. 18 UCLA women will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network, making it the second dual meet of the season to be covered and aired to the conference. Info here.
- Inter-conference match ups. While last weekend was a big one for conference meets, this weekend will see some of both. Texas is in the mix, as well as Nebraska, Boise State, and Denver.
- It could be rainy this weekend, which may pose an obstacle to outdoor racing for some of these teams. Either way, teams will compete hard and adjust as necessary.
- Arizona vs. Texas. This meet will be one of the most exciting meets this weekend. Texas is fresh off an off-weekend and Arizona is going to try to come back from back-to-back losses at Stanford and California. The men’s match up might be a bit of a blowout in Texas’ favor, but the women’s meet will probably be much closer.
