Eastern Student-Athlete Ariel Smith Competes on Indoor Track and Field Team

2017 Dec 18

The Eastern Connecticut State University men's and women's track and field teams are amid their indoor seasons, which run from December 2017 to February 2018. Among the student-athletes is Ariel Smith '18 of Stratford, who majors in Biology.

After a break from competition during the holiday season, the teams will resume on Jan. 20 at the Plymouth State University Panther Invitational.

Eastern's athletic conference, the Little East Conference (LEC), was established in 1986 as a single-sport league by six public institutions throughout New England. It has since become a multi-sport league with eight primary members, six affiliate members and 19 championships.

Eastern offers a broad-based, Division III athletic program aimed at safeguarding the amateur aspects of the various sports and maintaining the proper perspective of athletics within Eastern's academic mission. By placing emphasis on the values of equity, diversity, sportsmanship, health and wellbeing, Eastern's athletics program encourages students to contribute more effectively to society and live richer, fuller lives.
