DENTON, Texas – After its first meet of the outdoor season was cut short due to inclement weather, the UNT track and field team will split up between two meets held by Rice University and Texas A&M University Friday and Saturday.
North Texas had a positive showing at the Bill Schmidt Classic over the weekend. The Mean Green crowned eight champions before the meet was canceled Saturday afternoon.
The team now turns its attention to the Victor Lopez Classic and the Texas A&M Invitational. UNT's distance runners will be headed to Houston for a two-day meet at Rice University, while the rest of the team will travel to College Station for the Texas A&M Invitational.
