Share
AUSTIN, Texas – Kentucky will continue the outdoor track and field season by sending a strong and diverse, in terms of events contested, group to the Texas Invitational at Mike A. Myers Stadium this weekend.
The meet will begin on Friday at 3 p.m. ET with the hammer throw. Field events will run until the men’s javelin starts at 7 p.m., while running events – only the 5,000 meters and 3k steeplechase on Friday – will get under way at 7:30 p.m. with the last steeplechase set to begin at 9 p.m.
Saturday’s fuller program begins at 11 a.m. with the men’s discus. The first running event – the 1,500m – is set to start at 11:45 a.m.
Admission to the meet is free.
The Kentucky women’s team is ranked No. 3 in the nation this week, while the UK men’s team is ranked No. 23. Host Texas is ranked No. 9 on both the men’s and women’s sides.
Other ranked teams competing at the Texas Invitational are Auburn’s No. 19 men’s team and No. 25 women’s team.
The meet won’t be broadcast so @KentuckyTrack handles on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook will have the most media coverage. PTTiming is handling results.
