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.

"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."
