Murray State heads to Louisville, Kentucky, April 23-24 for the two-day meet

The Murray State women's track & field program will compete at the Clark Wood Open at the Owsley B. Frazier Cardinal Park hosted by Louisville.

"This weekend we look forward to competing against teams we don't get a chance to see very often. The competition is first class and it will be a great test for us. In terms of season goals as a team and individuals, we look forward to taking one more step to achieving those. The weather won't be ideal on Saturday, but I am glad it's something we will see before OVC Championships in May," says Head Coach Adam Kiesler.
