CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The Chattanooga Mocs open the Indoor Track and Field season Friday, January 17 at the Samford Invitational less than a week after the original open date.
Snow, ice and hazardous driving conditions canceled the Mocs opener at the UAB Blazer Invitational last weekend.
"After the weather delayed the season opener last week, we're looking forward to giving it a go Friday in Birmingham at the Samford Invite," assistant coach Patrick Gildea said. "We had a few sniffles and sore throats and not competing last week may prove to be a blessing in disguise. We've been training consistently well and look forward to seeing how our training translates on Friday. Everyone slated to compete is eager to get the season underway after months of preparation."
The day gets started for Chattanooga at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time with the women's long jump with Ava McGue, Norah Haney, Stella Henry and Adelaide McKeown.
The 60 meter trials begin at 12:40 with Henry and Ryleigh Simmons. That is followed by the 60 meter high hurdles with Haney and McKeown.
Andrea Ellis, EV McGowan, Aubrey Park, Anna Roberson, Brooke Tyll, Audrey Wade and Maddie Wheatcroft will run the Mile at 2:25 p.m. Eastern time. Sarah Unterholzner follows at 3:05 p.m. in the 400 meter dash.
The 800 meter run fires off at 3:55 p.m. (ET) with Wheatcroft, Taylor Crawford, Kennedy Reynolds, and Olivia Steele. That is followed by the 200 meter dash with McGue and Simmons.
Ellis, Tyll, Wade, Lola Baker, Michaela Dabney, Emma Thweatt and Ellie von Herrmann compete in the 3000 meter run. Haney, Henry, McGue and McKeown close out the field events at 5:30 p.m. with the Long Jump.
The Mocs conclude the event at 6:10 p.m. with two teams in the 4x400 meter realy.
