TEMPE – With the midpoint of the season approaching, the Sun Devil track and field squads split up to compete in the UW Invitational, Texas Tech Classic and New Mexico Team Invitational, looking to move up on the NCAA descending order list.
It's not uncommon for teams to split up to attend meets more tailored to different events to chase faster times and higher competition.
The Devils are doing just that as coaches Jeremy Rasmussen and Cory Leslie take their crews to a distance hotbed in Seattle, coaches Greg Kraft and Dion Miller take the sprinters and jumpers to one of the faster contests in the West, and coach Ron Barela and the pole vaulters go back to altitude in New Mexico.
