LAWRENCE, Kan. - The Kansas Track & Field team is scheduled to participate in four meets this weekend from Feb. 13-14. The majority of the team will travel to Fayetteville, Ark. for the Tyson Invitational.

"For all of our athletes, this will be a great opportunity to compete against high level competition." Kansas head coach Stanley Redwine said. "As the competition level continues to increase, it is a great time to achieve better times, set higher marks, and prepare ourselves well for the upcoming Big 12 meet and beyond."

Kansas will have a split squad this weekend with Jayhawks participating in four meets across the country. A handful of Kansas runners will travel to Boston to compete in the BU David Hemery Valentine Invitational, with Emmah Jemutai and Stephen Maroro also competing at the Crimson Open hosted by Harvard University.

A group containing mostly jumpers and sprinters will travel to Topeka, Kan. to compete in the Ichabod Invite hosted by Washburn University, and the remaining athletes will travel to Arkansas.

The Kansas men's team was ranked 27th in the latest USTFCCCA checkpoint, while the women's team was ranked 64th.

Following this weekend, the Jayhawks will have only one more competition weekend before heading to the Big 12 Championships in Lubbock, Texas from Feb. 27-28.

They've had a little bit of rest so hopefully they are in great shape to tackle the end of the season."

The meet is scheduled to begin on Friday at 1 p.m. with the men's 60 meter dash preliminaries with the field events kicking off with the men's pole vault at 1:15 p.m. The field events will conclude on Friday with the women's long jump at 6:30 p.m. while the women's 60 meter hurdles championship will wrap up the track events at 7:50 p.m. as part of the World Athletics Silver Tour.
