NORMAN – The University of Oklahoma track and field team begins the outdoor season this weekend in Fort Worth, Texas, at the TCU Invitational. The outdoor meet will be held at the Lowden Track Complex on the campus of TCU.
The beginning of the outdoor season means new events added to the meet schedule and a chance for the outdoor event student-athletes to join their OU teammates in meet competition.
The TCU Invite is the first of six outdoor meets for the Sooners that will run through the end of April before postseason competition begins. OU will travel to the West coast next weekend for the Aztec Invitational in San Diego before taking part in the Texas Relays in Austin. The Sooners will travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala. for the Crimson Tide Invitational prior to playing host to the annual John Jacobs meet April 20-21. The final regular season outdoor meet for OU will be the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, April 26-28.
The Big 12 Outdoor Championship is scheduled for May 11-13 in Waco, Texas, and the opening competition to June's NCAA Championship, the NCAA West Preliminary Round, is set for May 24-26 in Sacramento, Calif. The NCAA meet will again be hosted by the University of Oregon in Eugene, June 6-9.
Women's discus will be the first event of the TCU Invitational Friday, scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. CT with the men's discus to follow. Following the discus will be the women's and men's hammer throw which will get underway at the conclusion of the discus and be the final event on Friday.
The weekend's competition for the Sooners will conclude with the men's 3000 meters slated for 5:05 p.m.
