After making solid progress in their first two meets, the BG track team will look to take another step forward this weekend when they host the Tom Wright Classic.
The Falcons will welcome IPFW, Toledo, Notre Dame College and Tiffin to the Perry Field House with field events getting underway at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.
Unlike the first two competitions, this weekend’s meet will be non-scoring and will include both men and women track athletes.
According to coach Cami Wells, the new format has altered the way her squad had went about its preparations this week.
“It [preparation] is a little different,” Wells said. “We will definitely be focused more this week on making small individual improvements rather than worrying about points. We will try and limit the number of events that some of our athletes are in.”
For the Falcons, Whitney Hartman will be gunning for her third consecutive first place finish in the weight throw, while Brittani McNeal, coming off a personal record set last week, will be attempting to make it two-in-a-row in the long jump.
“Things have been going very well in practice this week,” Wells said. “Everyone is working hard and looking forward to another chance to compete at home.”
