INDIANAPOLIS - For the second time in as many weeks, the IU Indianapolis women's track and field team will compete inside the Indiana Farm Bureau Fall Creek Pavilion at this weekend's Crossroads of America Invitational. The Jaguars will compete in both days of the two-day meet, beginning on Friday (Jan. 23).

The Jaguars are coming off an impressive showing at last weekend's Hoosier Horsepower Classic, keyed by freshman standout Sarah Madi-Bouabre. Madi-Bouabre broke the program's 60m dash record with a time of 7.60 seconds and won the long jump with a best mark of 5.61m (18' 5'') in her collegiate debut. Senior Morgan Hoard broke her own school record in the shotput last weekend with a best throw of 11.31m (37' 1.25''). 

Sophomore Pa'Shence Purnell enters the weekend as the team's top entry in the 60m hurdles with a best time of 9.03 seconds and freshman Sophia Palmer is the top entry in the 200m event, having run 26.46 seconds. Freshman Jenna Twedt will run a pair of mid-distance events, running the 600m event on Friday and 800m on Saturday. 

Senior Jada-Marie Davis and junior Journey Howard highlight the high jump entries, keyed by Davis' school record mark of 1.66m (5' 5.25''). The group of 3,000m entries is led by Hannah Robbins and Julie Smith, both of whom will compete in the faster of the two heats. 

On Saturday, Skyler Sichting will open the day in the shotput, having thrown a personal best mark of 9.11m (29' 10.75''). Sophomore Ella Colclesser comes off an impressive 3,000m mark last weekend and will key the three entries in the mile on Saturday. Senior Reese McCuan leads the four entries in the 400m dash, having run 59.10 previously. 

The meet will conclude with the Jaguars' competing in the 4x400 relay as the group of Purnell, Davis, Howard and McCuan seek to lower the season-best mark, currently set at 3:55.25.
