BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - WKU Track and Field will get its 2016 indoor season underway this weekend as the Hilltoppers head to Nashville, Tennessee, for the Vanderbilt Opener. The Erik Jenkins-coached squad has opened the past four indoor campaigns in Music City. Saturday's meet will be held inside the Multi-purpose Facility on the Vanderbilt campus.
In its first two seasons in Conference USA, the WKU men have secured just as many Conference USA Indoor Track and Field championships and will look to carry the hot streak into the 2016 season. On the women's side, the Lady Toppers have brought home runner-up finishes from the same event the past two campaigns.
Between both the men and women, the Hilltoppers brought home five first place victories and a slew of personal bests from last season's opener.
Joining Vanderbilt and WKU at the meet are fellow local squads from Louisville, Memphis, Belmont, Tennessee State, Middle Tennessee, Murray State, Austin Peay, Lipscomb, Trevecca Nazarene and Tennessee Tech.
Admission to the event is $5 per person. Field events are scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. CT while running events are set to start at 1 p.m. CT.
