EAST LANSING , Mich. - In the final regular-season meet of the season, the Michigan State indoor track & field team will conclude action at the Silverston Invitational in Ann Arbor on Friday, Feb. 19.
"Our staff wants to see our student-athletes at their best tomorrow. This means supporting once another, controlling their environment, following the plan and engaging in the competition. We are traveling a smaller group this weekend compared with last weekend, but the expectations are the same," Interim Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Lisa Breznau said.Â
On Friday, the abbreviated meet will begin at 4 p.m. with the running and field events. On the track the first event will be the women's 60m hurdle prelims. The field events will commence with the men's high jump, weight throw, pole vault and long jump. The women's shot put and women's long jump will also start at 4 p.m.
On the women's side, several sprinters will be in action. Senior Brooke Bogan and junior Shakira Dancy will be in action in the 60m dash, while freshman Kaia Scheffler and junior Jaiden Paris will compete in the 60m hurdles. In the women's high jump, freshman Avery Budz will be making her Spartan debut, along with freshman Autumn Glover in the long jump.
In the pole vault, junior Sophia Franklin is tied for first in the Big Ten so far this season with a vault of 4.20m at the B1G SPIRE Invitational on Feb. 12. Junior Calli Ostapowicz will also be in action on Friday. Her season-best vault was 3.77m at the Gladstein Invitational on Jan. 23.
On the men's side, some new faces will be running the 3,000m. Sophomore Justin Ferraro and junior Ty Buckley will run the race for the first time this season, while senior Zac Wright-Fisher will run the 3,000m for the second time this season.
In the field events, veteran Dan Stone will join freshman Joshua Devries in the weight throw. Stone will then be back in action along with senior Jerimiah Evans in the shot put.
"I think there is always added pressure around a championship meet. However, we will remind them to take what we've learned throughout the season and apply it to next weekend. Our best meets have come when we've support one another as teammates and we will continue with that next weekend," Breznau said.
Following the Silverston Invitational, the Spartans return to Geneva, Ohio for the Big Ten Championships Feb. 25-27.
