It’s the first of two outdoor meets Tech will host this season.

LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech track and field team hosts its first outdoor meet of the season with the Masked Rider Open taking place Friday through Saturday at the Terry & Linda Fuller Track and Field Complex.

The throws portion of the meet begins Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. taking place right off fourth street, next to the National Ranching Heritage Center (3121 4th St, Lubbock, TX 79409).

Last Time Out
Tech opened its outdoor season traveling down the road to ACU for the Wes Kittley Invitational with a handful of Red Raiders. Malin Smith and Devin Roberson each led the way in the discus. Both placed first as Smith threw a PB 57.17m (187-7) while Roberson went 56.93m (186-9) in his Red Raider discus debut.

In the women's shot put, Field Gatlin and Baylee Thompson each threw PB outdoor marks as Gatlin placed first at 15.67m (51-5). Konner Wood took the men's hammer throw as he bested his PB by more than seven feet at 57.18m (187-7).

Timothy Gregg stood out in the 1500m with his run of 3:55.10 as Taylor Limbaugh registered an all-time best mark in the 5000 (18:02.37) coming in first.

Rankings
The first U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) outdoor rankings are set to come out this upcoming Monday.

On The Lookout
Just like last weekend, the entire throws crew is set to be back in action with at least one entry in each event. In the men's pole vault, Zach Bradford is poised to make his outdoor debut after his NCAA indoor run that saw him finished second with a lifetime best 5.91m (19-4 ¾).

Keyshawn King makes his TTU outdoor debut in the triple jump. The Stanford transfer finished fourth at the NCAA outdoor meet. Tech fans will also get a firsthand look at the Red Raider relay teams, especially the 4x100. On the 4x400 side, the women have three entries as the men have two entries.
