LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky will once again serve as host for the nation’s premier early-season indoor track and field meet — the Rod McCravy Memorial Invitational inside Nutter Field House Jan. 20-21, 2017.

Another elite field is signed up to compete descending upon the University of Kentucky campus in search of the early-season NCAA Championships qualifying marks that the meet has proven to produce for years now — especially the last three when some of the nation’s best programs have competed.

Honoring Rod McCravy
The high level of competition at the meet has turned into a fitting tribute to its namesake: the late Rodriq McCravy. 
McCravy, a UK track athlete, died at the age of 19 in 1987 while sleeping in his dorm room. Although only a sophomore, Rod had already become the track team’s leader. His personal charisma and genuine care for others earned him the respect and admiration of all his teammates. 
His personal impact on his teammates, friends, and coaches went well beyond athletics. A social work major, Rod is remembered as a dedicated, enthusiastic athlete, a conscientious student, a cherished friend and most important, an outstanding human being. 
A graduate of Louisville Trinity High School, Rod was a two-time class AAA state champion in the 300m hurdles. He once held the UK freshman 400m hurdles record (53.35), and was part of a then-school record 4x400m relay team.
The meet is named in his honor to help members of the UK track and field community to remember him as well as provide an ongoing opportunity to speak about Rod and the positive influence he had on everyone who knew him.
