Three Things to Know
- Home, Sweet, Home
While this will be one of seven regular season meets in the Natural State for Little Rock's Team, this week's action marks the lone home meet of the 2022 Outdoor Season for the Trojans.
- Records Keep Falling - Expect it To Continue
Little Rock has set three school records so far this season but a different set of records are expected to fall this week as the Trojans host the Little Rock Twilight. At last year's home meet, 12 facility records were broken. Fans should expect more of those marks to be rewritten this week.
- An International Affair
Not only will 16 collegiate teams be competing this weekend at the Coleman Sports Complex (including Little Rock's Team), but athletes from the Namibian Olympic Team will also be competing, including Christine Mboma, the Silver Medalist from the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
