The U track and field team has had success throughout the meets it has competed in, and the team will now head to three different tournaments this weekend.

A few of the elite runners will head to the Pomona Pitzer Invitational, while some of the other runners will head to the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif. However, most of the team will head up to Logan to compete in the Utah State Invitational.

The men’s and women’s team got five firsts at the Azusa Pacific Meet of Champions and the San Diego State Invitational last week. The Utes have run very well in all the meets it has competed in, and they need to continue their success to have enough momentum going into the Mountain West Conference Championships.

The runners that have been placing at high positions on a consistent basis have been Teren Jameson, Nephi Tyler, Trina Bateman, Autumn Smith, April Jackson and Brook LoBue.
