"I'm excited to lead this group of men and women this weekend," said Director of Track & Field and Cross Country, Richard Jones. "We have competed at a high level all season and responded well and learned how to compete."
The meet will be held inside the Track & Field Center at Gately Park in Chicago. The meet will take place over the span of two days starting Sunday at 9:30 AM.
"This weekend is a culmination of all the fall training, returning early and hard work we have put in. With a lot of new people (both staff and athletes) I am looking for some all MVC performances and a few titles as well," said Coach Jones.
