DENTON, Texas — The UNT track and field program is prepared to begin the outdoor schedule at the TCU Alumni Invite in Fort Worth Friday and Saturday.
The Mean Green will take a mixture of freshman and veterans to the meet as they continue to recover from the last part of the indoor season. Friday's action will consist only of discus and hammer throw, which will be contested at AP Ranch off-campus. The majority of the meet takes place on Saturday beginning at 8:45 a.m. CT at the Lowdon Track & Field Complex.
QUOTE FROM COACH MARSHALL
"t's exciting getting to open up our outdoor season close to home. We're looking forward to having our fans, families and supporters come out to TCU this weekend. Our team is excited to open on a strong note and have a great outdoor season."
LAST TIME OUT
The Mean Green wrapped up the indoor season with a solid showing at the AAC Championships on March 1. The North Texas men placed fourth in the team standings, while the women took seventh. Jake Parchman won an individual title in the weight throw, becoming the program's first conference champion in the event. Jaylen Washington advanced to the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships where he earned second-team All-America honors in the 60 meters.
