What are the smallest Div. 1 schools with track?
What are the smallest Div. 1 schools with track?
I bet it's Portland. I've heard they only have 2200 undergrad.
Actually, I think it's smaller than that. Maybe less than 1,000 students.
The Citadel routinely has less than 1500 students.
2000-1 enrollment for Portland was 2417.
Smallest schools, all with track/XC (I may have missed one or two):
Wofford College - 1072
St Francis Univ. (Pennsylvania) - 1174
Wagner College - 1621
Davidson College - 1678
(I stopped at Davidson because that's my alma mater, and I knew we were one of the smallest in '91 at around 1300)
Stats from ncaa.org
The Citadel had 1876 students in 2000-2001.
Jacksonville University in Florida, 1500 students. Has women's track and XC and men's XC only. In the last 3 years has had an indoor NCAA champ at 60m (women) and an NCAA participant in the heptathlon.
good chance both of those, plus a hurdler, and perhaps a LJer and 4x1 could be at the NCAAs this year.
team that is both small and good.
