MILWAUKEE – The Marquette University men's and women's track and field teams will send student-athletes to three different sites this weekend to compete.

The multis competitors will go to the Windy City Rumble at the University of Chicago from Friday, Feb. 7 through Saturday, Feb. 8. Junior Joe Keys and senior Madison Marko will attempt to break school records in the heptathlon and pentathlon, respectively.

Keys (5,338 points) will try to break his own school record, which he set last year at the Spire Institute (Feb. 23). Marko (3,309) currently holds the No. 4 spot all-time in the pentathlon, which she set in the same meet last season.

Several distance runners will head to the Meyo Invitational at Notre Dame. The MU women, led by seniors Caitlin McGauley and Mary Hanson, will compete in the 3000m race on Friday night. Ryan Burd and Daniel Pederson will lead the men in the 5000m, while Derek Gross will make a run at another 800m top-10 mark.

The rest of the team will head to the Parkside Classic, which takes place entirely on Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m. with the men's weight throw and ending at 5:15 p.m. with the 4x400 relays.
