The women's track and field team splits its squad for two competitions this week.
Beginning today, half of the team will be competing at the Searay Relays in Knoxville, Tenn. The Searay Relay Invitational is a four-day event concluding Saturday.
Ball State University coach Sue Parks said although the meet doesn't offer chances of many individual championships, it offers nice conditions and tough challengers.
"It is not necessarily a meet that we will place high in a lot of events, because Searay Relays is a large meet with many great teams," Parks said. "But it is a chance to get to warmer weather and compete against top competition."
The other half of the squad will be traveling to Walnut, Calif. for the Mt. SAC Relays, held Thursday through Saturday. Like the previous Stanford Invitational, the Mt. SAC Relays offer top-notch competition and conditions for qualifying for the NCAA Championships.
Assistant coach Todd Lane will be in charge of the group traveling to California, an event for those who missed the chance to go the Stanford Invitational two weeks ago.
