One-Day Govs Invitational Up Next for WKU Track & Field

Schedule of Events

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Both the Hilltopper and Lady Topper Track & Field squads will be traveling to Austin Peay on Friday to compete in the Governors Invitational. The Invitational has been paired down to just one day of competition on Friday due to the impending weather expected in Clarksville, Tenn., on Saturday.

Action will begin on Friday morning with shot put, discus, triple jump, long jump and pole vault all slated to begin at 10 a.m. CT. The high jump competition will begin promptly after the long jump has ended. Javelin will be the final field event of the day beginning at 3 p.m.

Running events will start at 2 p.m. and will be on a rolling schedule for the remainder of the afternoon. The meet is expected to conclude at approximately 6:30 p.m.

"We'll go down and we'll try to do our best," head coach Erik Jenkins said about the upcoming meet. "No matter what, it's a track. We're going to go run and get the job done."

Spectators can enter through the gates on the west side of Fortera Stadium just off Drane Street.

WKU's most recent team competition was last week when the Red and White hosted 19 teams for the annual Hilltopper Relays. The Hilltoppers and Lady Toppers finished the meet with 11-first place finishes and several PRs.
