Defending SEC Outdoor Championships Title Holders
This year’s championships will be hosted by the Texas A&M University and Pat Henry’s side will be hoping to use the comfort of being at home as an advantage as they seek to break the recent dominance of Arkansas on the women’s side.
Arkansas, which dominated the 2021 SEC Indoor Championships and then repeated that display to capture the NCAA Indoor National Championships earlier this month, won the women’s team title at the 2019 SEC Outdoor Championships, as the Razorbacks landed their fifth women’s conference crown in six years. The 2020 SEC Championships did not take place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
