News mentions
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech track and field team has already been to Vanderbilt once this season, but their second trip will likely have a different, more intense feel. Tech will have to bring its best this time around, as it will line up against several of the nation’s top programs during the Commodore Invitational this Friday and Saturday.
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Tennessee Tech track and field team has been away from competition for six weeks after kicking off its season at the Vanderbilt Indoor Opener, but will return to action this weekend at Kentucky’s Nutter Field House for the Jim Green Invitational on Friday and Saturday.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The defending Ohio Valley Conference champion Tennessee Tech women’s track and field team approached the Vanderbilt Indoor Opener the same way that many programs go into their first meet of the season: to see the gains they have made in the offseason. “We did well today for it being the first meet of the year,” said coach Wayne Angel. “We had a lot of our athletes competing in their ‘off-events’, just to see how they are progressing in their growth and training. Overall, I thought it was very positive from that standpoint.” Aside from the fact that winning was not at the top of the Golden Eagles list of priorities on Saturday, they still managed to produce a slew of top finishes, and saw many of their freshman members turn in impressive debuts.
