BYU to compete at Texas, Stanford and UVU
BYU track and field will compete at the 96th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays, Stanford Invitational and Utah Valley Invitational this week.
"It's a big weekend for us. Our distance athletes are going to the Stanford Invitational, which has traditionally been a very good place for them to run fast. The Texas Relays will be important for our sprinters, jumpers and multis groups and we are excited for those performances. The UVU Invitational will also bring a good development opportunity for some of our athletes. It's going to be a great weekend."
