Emory Track & Field to Compete at the Ole Miss Invitational and the Furman Invitational

Emory Track & Field to Compete at the Ole Miss Invitational and the Furman Invitational

The Emory University track and field team will be split between a pair of meets again this weekend, as the Eagles will take part in both the Ole Miss Invitational in Oxford, MS and the Furman Invitational in Grenville, SC on Saturday, April 10th.

The Emory men will enter the meet ranked fifth among all NCAA Division III squads in the Nation, according to the latest USTFCCCA poll.  Emory seniors Greg Decker (5,000-meter run), Alex Greenhouse (400-meter hurdles), and Paul Winterhalter (10,000-meter run) have all recorded NCAA provisional qualifying times during the outdoor season.

Emory’s women are currently ranked 17th in Division III.  So far this season, senior Brittany Donino (100-meter hurdles) and sophomore Lauren Attiah (triple jump) have provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships, while Theresa Ford’s height in the high jump and the Eagles’4x100-meter relay team’s time are both on the cusp of qualifying.

The Ole Miss Invitational, hosted by the NCAA Division I University of Mississippi, will begin with field events at 11:30 AM on Saturday, while the running events will kick off at 12:30 PM.  The event will be an open competition meet, and there will be no team scoring. 

The Furman University Invitational will feature both high school and collegiate competitors, with the collegiate events slated for a 10:40 AM start.  Other colleges, besides Emory and Furman, competing at the meet include Elon, Erskine, Spartanburg Methodist, USC Upstate, and Wofford.
