The Highland Community College Indoor Track & Field teams consisting of 18 student-athletes will head to Pittsburg, KS to compete in the NJCAA National Indoor Championships this weekend.
 
It has been a memorable year thus far for the Indoor Track team as they have set 11 New School Records. They will look to cap off a great Indoor season this weekend at the National Championships.
