NORMAN – The University of Oklahoma track and field team is set to host the 21st annual J.D. Martin Invitational on Saturday, Jan. 21, at Mosier Indoor Facility in Norman, Okla.  

"After a good first meet back I'm looking forward to being at home competing," said head coach Tim Langford. "Students are back on campus and will have the opportunity to support their friends on the team. It will be an honor to have J.D. Martin with us for this meet, as the competition bears his name. For years he guided the OU track programs and I'm grateful for the legacy he left, and we continue to build on that foundation." 
 
The meet is scheduled to begin with field events at 10 a.m. CT and running events kicking off at noon. Admission is free to fans.
