Bowling Green’s men’s and women’s track teams will travel to Kentucky this weekend for the Rod McCravy Memorial meet in Lexington.

The Bowling Green men’s team will look to improve on their seventh place finish from last week’s Central Collegiate Championships. Captains Zerian Peterson, Kerry Koontz, and Tom Kutter should lead the team and compete in their respective events.

The BG women’s team will go to this weekends meet after a fourth place finish at last weekend’s Central Collegiate Championships. They will compete at this weekends two day meet against high caliber division one teams.

Some of the teams that will be at the meet are MAC competitor Miami University and out of conference opponents include split squads from Alabama, Kentucky, and nationally ranked Georgia.

The Bowling Green women should challenge for points in most events, but mainly in the field events and the throws. Sophomore shot put specialist Kerri McClung will compete for points in her event. Mary Willems and Lori Williams will challenge the other women in the weight throwing event.

The women’s 4×400 meter relay team will try to run under the four minute barrier for the second straight week.

Coach Scott Sehmann is hoping that after a hard week of training, his team will “compete with a little more passion (than last week), concentrate more on what they have to do, and build their confidence.”
