Kentucky track and field teams will spread out at two meets this weekend – Arkansas’ Tyson Invitational and the Iowa State Classic.
This weekend’s meets will serve as a final regular-season tune-up for the Wildcats as the calendar inches to two weeks out from the start of the postseason. The Wildcats’ schedule includes meets at Clemson and Ohio State next weekend, but the Wildcats will want to get their last competitive work in now and be able to rest next weekend ahead of the Southeastern Conference Championships Feb. 24-25 with Vanderbilt as hosts.
The Tyson Invitational begins at 2 p.m. ET on Friday, and continues at noon on Saturday. The meet will be broadcast on SEC Network+ Friday and Saturday. FlashResults will cover live results.
The Iowa State Classic will start at 1 p.m. ET Friday, and continue Saturday at 2 p.m. ET. FloTrack’s subscription service will broadcast the meet. PTtiming will handle live results.
The group heading to Arkansas is made up mostly of sprinters and jumpers. The group competing in Iowa consists of distance runners and throwers.
The Kentucky women’s team moved up two spots to No. 6 in this week’s USTFCCCA computer rankings. The UK men’s team is up 20 spots to No. 27.
