LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Little Rock's track and field programs will return to competition Saturday as the Trojans will head to Kansas for the Wendy's/Pittsburg State Invitational.
Teams Competing
Little Rock, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Kansas City, Missouri State, Ole Miss, UT Arlington, UT Martin and Tarleton State (transitioning to Division I starting next year)
Three Things to Know
- We're
Not In Kansas Anymore
via GIPHY
Don't let the name fool you Dorothy, the Trojans actually are in Kansas. That is because this week's meet is at Pittsburg State, not in Pittsburgh. Located less than five hours from Little Rock, Pittsburg State in Kansas is a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association and annually hosts several track and field meets open to teams in all divisions.
- Go the Distance
Several distance runners for Little Rock will be competing for the Trojans Saturday on both the men's and women's side. The meet will be a great test to see how the latest students under Olympian Alan Webb are progressing in his first year of tutelage.
- Streak on the Line
So far this indoor season, Little Rock has set a school record in every single indoor meet in which the Trojans have competed. That record will be put to the test with a small group of athletes competing in fewer events than normal.
