Friday's action, which begins at 3:30 p.m. (CST), starts with the 60-meter prelims and also features the 200, 600 and 5,000 meters in addition to the distance medley relay.

The Braves are back on the track the next morning with Saturday's events including the triple jump, 400 meters, 800 meters, mile and 3,000 meters. Saturday's action is slated to being at 9 a.m. (CST).

Freshman Amiyah Davis, who set the school record in the 400 meters earlier this season and owns the second-best time in the MVC this year, will help the Braves wrap up the weekend's competition in the women's 4x400.

Junior Charlie Parrish set a personal best in the 3,000 meters his last time out at the Cyclone Open back on Jan. 22 and is one of four Braves slated to run in the men's 3,000 meters Saturday.
