The Emory University track and field team will send its multi-event athletes to Grinnell College for the Darren Young Classic on Friday, while a number of other members of the team will compete at the Clemson Tiger Paw Invitational on Friday and Saturday.

Emory will no longer be sending a contingent of athletes to the Boston University Valentine’s Invitational, as original scheduled, instead opting to compete at the Darren Young Classic in Grinnell, IA.  A number of members of the Emory men’s and women’s squads will be taking part in the pentathlon, which includes the 55-meter hurdles, long jump, shot put, high jump and a run (the 1,000-meter run for the men, and 800-meter run for the women).  The pentathlon will be contest on Friday, February 11^th, starting at 11:00 AM.

Other Emory athletes will be making the second of three scheduled trips to Clemson University for the Eagles this indoor season for the Tiger Paw Invitational, slated for a 2:00 PM start of Friday, February 11^th and a 9:30 AM start on Saturday, February 12^th.  The Clemson meet will consist of a large slate of events, as Emory’s athletes will be facing mostly NCAA Division I competition.
