NAIA indoors: Women better watch out for Simon Fraser

A glimpse at the NAIA national indoor meet results from Johnson City, Tenn., give a glimpse at the future of D2 track. And it's about to get more competitive, especially for women.
Simon Fraser was the most notable (from a track & field perspective) to gain entry into NCAA II. Although not eligible for a national title in 2012, my guess is they'll get a women's title within the first four years.
The Simon Fraser women swept the indoor 4x800 relay and the distance medley relay, en route third place -- and nearly a win. At least a pair of those relay runners might be running in two years' time.
On the men's side, Simon Fraser put three in the 3,000 meter final.
