The Wolverines opened the indoor season at BYU in December with 17 top 10 marks, including
Anaya Potter's collegiate debut which featured a new school pentathlon record and a school-record-tying mark in the high jump. Potter was named the WAC Field Athlete of the Week after her performance.
The action begins on Thursday with the women's pentathlon at 11:45 a.m. and the first four events of the men's heptathlon starting at noon. The throws (shot put, weight throw, and discus) will begin at 4 p.m., and the 600-yard and 4x800 relays will also be contested.
On Friday, the jumps will begin at 12:30 p.m., with the women's long jump preceding the high jump, pole vault, and triple jump. The 60-meter hurdles will start at 1 p.m. as the first of the final three events in the heptathlon.
Saturday will be almost exclusively on the track except the pole vault, which begins with the women at 11:30 a.m. A 3000-meter open race will kick off the day at 9:45 a.m. with the 60-meter hurdles and 60m trials, the 400m, and the mile preceding a short break. After the intermission will all be finals, starting with the 60-meter hurdles at 1:50 p.m. The day wraps up with the 4x400 relays, with the women scheduled to run at 4:20 p.m.
