EDISON, NJ (Feb. 7, 2022) – The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) today announced Rider University as the host of the 2022 MAAC Men's & Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The championships are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 7 and 8 at Michael P. Brady Track & Field Complex in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
 
The 2022 Outdoor Track & Field Championships were originally set to be held at Kessler Stadium in West Long Branch, NJ, hosted by Monmouth University. The change in venue is a result from the January 24^th announcement of Monmouth's withdrawal from the MAAC, effective June 30, 2022. Per the MAAC bylaws, an institution withdrawing from the conference membership shall forfeit immediately all rights to host a MAAC championship (Section 8.8, D, 1), therefore, Monmouth is no longer eligible to host the 2022 Outdoor Track& Field championship. MAAC bylaws do permit Monmouth's athletic programs and its student-athletes to participate in conference championships until the school's departure.
 
This will mark the 22^nd time that the MAAC Men's & Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championships will be hosted at Rider, more than any other location. The event was held in Lawrenceville annually from 1998 through 2014, before a three-year stint from 2016-2018 and last spring during the 2021 championships.
