MU Track & Field Travels to Notre Dame Invitational

MILWAUKEE – The Marquette University men's and women's track and field teams travel to Notre Dame for the second time this year for the Notre Dame Invitational on Saturday, Jan. 25 at the Loftus Sports Center. The meet is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Central time with the men's long jump. The running events are expected to start at noon.

"We love getting the chance to compete at Notre Dame and we're excited to have most of our team head out there this time," Marquette track and field head coach Bert Rogers said. "Overall, the competition level will be a good litmus test and I think we have a good chance to win several events."
