THE COACHES TAKE ON THIS WEEKEND:
"This is a great weekend for us," said Andy Eggerth, director of  track and field and cross country. "The University of Minnesota will be putting on a great competition. North Dakota State will be there who regularly dominates the Summit League, along with Marquette and a host of other regional Universities. One thing in particular that we are looking forward to is the combined event. There is only one or two times per year that our combined event athletes get to do their actual event, the heptathlon or pentathlon, so we are excited to see how they will put things together this weekend."
