The Notre Dame Men's Distance Medley Relay team competes tonight at 10:02 PM ET for the NCAA National Championship! In the photo above that's Dylan Jacobs, Yared Nuguse, Sean Carlson (coach), Wayne Pate (coach), Sam Voelz and Edward Cheatham.
The Fighting Irish go into tonight's race with the fastest time in the country and the 2nd fastest time in NCAA history!
Last year, Notre Dame finished 2nd in this event at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field National Championship.
Here's the reality -- Notre Dame's time (2nd fastest all-time) is only 3 seconds faster than the slowest team in the Final Heat -- so this is going to be quite a race!
It's Event #10 tonight -- here's the teams Notre Dame is competing with: FINAL HEATS
