Central Michigan in 12th place with 23 total points in the 13-team MAC Championships. Akron won the team championship with 135.50 total points.

"We are extremely disappointed with the overall team finish. We know we can do better and I hope this will motivate us in the future. That being said we had some really great moments and the team finish should not take away from that," Central Michigan Director of Track & Field Jenny Swieton said. "We are going to go back to the drawing board and come back better."
