Three Things to Know

1. Award Winners Back on the Track
   Little Rock swept the Sun Belt's Track Athlete of the Week awards last weekend and both will be back in action this weekend at Miami. Ka'Neisha Jackson returns to the 400m hurdles where she set a new school record a week ago while Spencer Cardinal will opt for a shorter distance, racing in the 1,500m.
2. Making an Outdoor Debut
   Several Trojans will be making their outdoor debut this weekend and all eyes will be on the high jump as Jonathan Jones and Christian Matamoros will compete for the first time this season. Jones and Matamoros, two of the top high jumpers in the Sun Belt, will test their talents against ACC competition Saturday.
3. Returning Home
   Saturday's meet will have a special meaning as throws coach Charles Johnson returns to his alma mater. Johnson is a 2007 graduate of the University of Miami that held the school record in the hammer throw for six years and still ranks in the top 10 in both the hammer and the discus.
