INDIANAPOLIS --- The NCAA announced Thursday that portions of the third day of competition of the Division I Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships will be broadcast live on College Sports Television (CSTV). The show will air Friday, June 9 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time.

The Championships will be held June 7-10 at the A.G. Spanos Sports Complex on the campus of Sacramento State. Earlier this spring it was announced that the final day of competition, Saturday, June 10, will be broadcast live on CBS from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time.

"We are very pleased about the additional live coverage, as it provides additional exposure for track and field and our student-athletes,” said DeTrease Harrison, chair of the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Track and Field committee and assistant athletics director for business at Virginia Commonwealth University. “CBS has been a long-time partner of the NCAA Track and Field Championships and the live coverage is just another example of its commitment. The addition of the CSTV coverage is just a continuation of that commitment.”

This will mark the first year of any live coverage of the championships since 1982. With the four and a half hours of live coverage, it will mark the most live coverage in the 86 years of the event and the most live coverage of any track and field event this year
