After two months of indoor competition, the Oklahoma State track team has one last chance to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships.
OSU’s men’s and women’s track teams head to Fayetteville, Arkansas, to compete in the Arkansas Qualifier on Friday before traveling to South Bend, Indiana, for the Alex Wilson Invitational on Saturday.
Coach Dave Smith will not send top-tier runners such as Kaela Edwards and Josh Thompson. Other top performers from the track team will not participate in these events.
“For Kaela, she’s going to take the week off, kind of have a down week, a little mental break as well as a physical break to get herself regrouped and recovered so that she can get her legs back under her for the Big 12 (Championship) and nationals after that,” Smith said.
