MEMPHIS, Tenn. – May Madness has arrived for the University of Memphis track and field squad, and the excitement is at a fever pitch with the Tigers carrying a school-record 23 student-athletes to the meet this weekend in Tampa, Fla. USF Track and Field Stadium is the host site for the NCAA East Preliminaries.
Last week, Memphis learned that a program-record 23 athletes qualified for the NCAA postseason, surpassing the previous mark of 19 set in the 2013 outdoor campaign.
The revamped schedule – due to weather forecasts in the Tampa area – has the NCAA Preliminaries now kicking off at 7:45 a.
