QUOTE FROM COACH MARSHALL
"We're very excited to get out to Charlotte and compete at the conference meet. I think our athletes are motivated to perform well and represent North Texas the way we want to."
LAST TIME OUT
The Mean Green ended the regular season at the Texas A&M Alumni Muster on May 3. Victor Neiva was the lone winner for North Texas, winning the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 8:54.15, which was a meet record and the second-fastest time in school history. Hendrick Hundl took fourth in the 110-meter hurdles, but shattered the school record in the process with a time of 13.82 that overtook the previous record of 13.98 from 1973. London Culbreath and Icey Green both posted top-10 finishes in two events to lead the women's team.
