The BG track and field team is back in action this weekend with the team splitting up to two different meets during the weekend.
Most of the team will be traveling to Muncie, Ind. for the Ball State Dual; a select few will be traveling to Columbus for the 27th annual Jesse Owens Track Classic.

Harris will be the only student-athlete representing BG while the three others will be competing unaffiliated.
Teams that BG will be competing against some of the best teams in the Midwest in Columbus. Teams include Ohio State, Michigan State, Purdue, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Miami University, Dayton, Wright State, Eastern Michigan and Ohio University.
