Baylor track and field is gearing up to host the Michael Johnson Invitational this weekend. With 22 schools in the home meet, the Bears are using it as an opportunity to prepare for championship season, according to head coach Michael Ford.
Ford said the Michael Johnson Invitational is a great chance for athletes to tune up in their events and prepare for the Big 12 Championship in early May, which is followed by nationals. He said it’s always great to have a strong home crowd for this event, and he said it allows the students to gear up for the most critical time of the year.
