TEMPE – Sun Angel Stadium welcomes Texas A&M, UCLA and Iowa among others this weekend as the Sun Devils open their outdoor track and field campaign with the Baldy Castillo Invitational Friday and Saturday in Tempe.
The new outdoor season comes right on the heels of the NCAA Indoor Championships that saw Arizona State bring home two first-team All-America honors and one NCAA title when Samantha Noennig won the women's shot put.
Although first-team All-American William Paulson will not compete this weekend for ASU, Noennig will open her season in the discus throw, and second-team long jump honoree Jessica Barreira will throw the javelin for the first time in the Maroon and Gold kit since she finished eighth in the event at the Pac-12 Championships.
