MUNCIE, Ind. - - The Ball State track & field team returns to action this weekend with a pair of meets on the docket. A majority of the team will travel to the Oliver Nikoloff Open hosted by the University of Cincinnati, while three members of the squad will head to the Raleigh Relays hosted by NC State.
The Cardinals are scheduled to compete in 15 events at UC's Gettler Stadium over the course of the two-day Oliver Nikoloff Open. First up, will be the women's hammer throw at 12:30 p.m. Friday. The other 14 events well be contested Saturday, starting at 10 a.m. with the women's javelin.
A total of 21 different programs will be represented at the Oliver Nikoloff Open, with Bowling Green, Kent State, Miami and Ohio joining the Cardinals to represent the Mid-American Conference.
In addition, Ball State's runners will compete in a pair of Friday events at the Raleigh Relays; the 1,500m run (at approximately 2:45 p.m.) and the 10,000m run (approximately 8:45 p.m.).
Over 120 NCAA programs will be represented at the Derr Track & Field Facility for the two-day Raleigh Relays, as well as professional athletes and high school competitors.
Despite being hampered by weather in its first two outdoor meets of the season, the Ball State track & field team has managed to produce some strong results in the early going.
Team wise, the Cardinals already boast a 9-0 dual record against NCAA Division I competition after a strong showing at the season-opening Stan Lyons Invitational (March 17).
Individually, the Cardinals have claimed eight event wins and 23 career-best performances over the first two weeks of the outdoor season.
Junior Regan Lewis continues to perform well in the high jump, entering the weekend ranked second in the league at 1.60m. Freshman Hailley Peters is not far behind, currently claiming the sixth spot on the MAC performance list at 1.55m.
Another freshman making an immediate impact outdoors is Abby Denham in the javelin. With her effort of 39.12m at the Stan Lyons Invitational, Denham currently ranks second in the league and is just .50m outside the top five in program history.
Rounding out Ball State's top-five ranked athletes in the MAC is sophomore Kelsey Walters who is currently fourth in the shot put at 13.70m.
