EUGENE, Ore./WICHITA, Kan. -- The Wichita State track and field team is sending 45 athletes to Eugene, Oregon for the Hayward Premiere, while the remainder of the team will compete at the Friends Spring Open in Wichita Friday and Saturday.

"I am really excited for our athletes to have the opportunity to compete at the University of Oregon this weekend," head coach said. "We brought a small group out here last year and it was just fabulous because the facility and the venue is truly the finest in the world."
