BYU track: Cougars gear up for the New Mexico Classic

Short distance runners, jumpers and throwers have the spotlight this weekend at the New Mexico Collegiate Track and Field Classic on Feb. 5-6.

Last weekend’s standout long distance runners have the week off. Now BYU coach Ed Eyestone is looking forward to what this weekend’s traveling squad can do in Albuquerque as most of them stayed home during the preceding week’s trip.

“Many of our athletes who are going this week have had a couple of weeks of training,” Eyestone said. “When you get in the heat of things and are competing every week you actually lose a little bit of fitness.
