Carbondale, Ill. - The Southern Illinois University men's track and field team will compete in the Illini Classic Saturday in Champaign. The meet is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. with field events and running events will start at noon.

Along with competing against the host school, SIU will go up against Big Ten school Wisconsin, and Big 12 school Kansas.

"We only have two weeks before the conference meet, so it's time to turn it on and get the marks we've been trying to get," said head coach Cameron Wright. "This meet will be one of our better competitions of the year."

"We're still not going to compete everyone," said Wright. "A few will stay back this weekend and train."
