OREM, Utah – Utah Valley men's and women's track and field will make the crosstown trek to compete in the BYU Robison Invitational this weekend on April 27-29 at Clarence F. Robison Track.
 
The Wolverines open the meet on Thursday with the start of the heptathlon at noon, followed by a 12:15 p.m. start for the decathlon.

"Our guys and girls are looking pretty good heading into the weekend," said UVU head coach Scott Houle. "BYU always puts on a great competition at their home track. Our goal is to use this meet as a tune-up and get past some of our marks. We are looking to keep preparing for the conference championships and get stronger and deeper as a whole, so this weekend's meet will be good to help us improve."

Saturday's portion of the meet begins at 9 a.m. with the remaining throwing and jumping events. All running events will pick up with the women's and men's 3,000-meter steeplechase on Saturday at 11 a.m., while the finals for the sprints and relays will wrap up the three-day invitational.
