Three Things to Know

1. Trojan Speed on Display at Tyson
   Don't blink. Troy McKnight, Cameron Jackson and Taveion Neal – the three fastest men in the Ohio Valley Conference – will all be running in the 60m dash at the Tyson Invitational against some of the best sprinters in the country.  Meanwhile on the women's side, Landri Schreier and Gabby Ayiteyfio – the two fastest women in the Ohio Valley Conference – are also heading to Fayetteville for the 60m dash at the Tyson Invitational.
2. Measured in Distance
   Little Rock's distance runners are making the trip to Kansas once again as the Trojans will be flocking to Pittsburg State. Little Rock's Team will have several runners in the mile, the 3,000m and the 5,000m races on both the men's and women's side of things.
3. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
   There won't just be individuals competing for Little Rock's Team this weekend as the women's distance medley relay team is scheduled to compete at the Gorilla Classic. That relay squad will be making their first appearance of the year on the track.
