NORMAN, Okla. The University of Oklahoma men's and women's track and field teams compete at home in their final tune-up before the Big 12 Championships.
OU hosts the Sooner Indoor Open Saturday, Feb. 17, at the Mosier Indoor Track & Field Center. Field events begin at 10 a.m. Track events begin at 12 p.m.
Among the featured events of the meet will be a showdown between two of the NCAA's top sprinters.
Oklahoma's Ronnie Pines, ranked No. 1 in the Big 12, faces defending national champion Jacob Norman of Baylor in the 60-meter dash. The meet will mark Norman's first competition of the season after spending the winter rehabbing after hip surgery.

The meet also pits two of the nation's top female triple jumpers as No. 8 Sandra Anane of New Mexico State and OU's Toni Smith, ranked 13th, square off against each other Saturday.
