INDIANAPOLIS - The IUPUI men's and women's track and field teams will embark on a busy weekend as Jaguar student-athletes will compete at three different meets on Thursday (Mar. 28) and Friday (Mar. 29). The men's team will have athletes at NC State's Raleigh Relays while the women's team will compete at the nearby Marian University Open. Both the men's and women's teams will have competitors at the WashU. Distance Carnival in St. Louis as well. 

Seniors Eric Petersen and Andrew Whitinger will travel to the Raleigh Relays, chasing elite distance marks. Petersen, the reigning #HLTF Outdoor Runner of the Week, will compete in the 5K while Whitinger will run the 10K. Both will take aim at new school records against elite fields. 

In St. Louis, three other Jaguars - Mitchell Gits, Nick Perkins and Mitchell Rans - will also compete in the 10K under the lights. A deep group of Jaguars will run the 5,000m event, including Jack Acton and Grant Moon, while true freshman Luke Shappell is earmarked for the 1,500m event. Shappell clocked a debut time of 3:52.94 at Miami's Blizzard Buster last week, landing squarely among the program's top-10 all-time. 

A group of women will compete at nearby Marian on Thursday morning as Morgan Hoard, Paige Laffoon and Shelby McGee will make their season debuts in the javelin. Karis Davis leads the four entries in the 400m event having run 58.63 and sophomore Jada-Marie Davis tops the two entrants in the 400m hurdles, having run 1:05.06. Another sophomore, Kyla Kante, will run her first 200m dash of her outdoor career. 

As WashU., Madison Fry and Laci Provenzano will run the 10,000m event and seniors Kara Krol and Rebecca Orvis lead the 5,000m entries. Sophomore Wini Barnett will run the 800m event late on Friday. 

A full recap and results from each day's events will be posted to IUPUIJags.com immediately afterwards.
