Racers Compete at A-State Red Wolves Open

After high-quality performances by the Murray State Track & Field Team at Austin Peay, they will travel to Arkansas State for the A-State Red Wolves Open. The meet is Friday and Saturday in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

The meet will begin on Friday at 3 p.m. with the hammer throw. The long jump and javelin are the only other field events taking place on Friday. The track events begin with the 200m at 5:45 p.m. and also include the 800m invite, 3000m steeplechase and 5000m.

On Saturday, the field events begin at 10:30 a.m. with the shot put and discus directly following the event. The running events begin at 11 a.m. with the 4x100m relay and are on a rolling schedule.

Last weekend at the APSU Governor Invitational, Tonia Pratt finished first in all three events she competed. She topped the shot put with a distance of 14.71m. She followed that with a throw of 47.00m in the discus, while picking up a 52.35m throw in the hammer.

Kiara Austin got the ball rolling for the Racers as she set a personal record in the triple jump that also landed her in second on the Murray State best list. She jumped 12.34m, which was good for third place.

The Racers look to see improvements from the student-athletes as this is the second to last meet before the Ohio Valley Conference Outdoor Championships.
