FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Southeastern Louisiana track team will have eight student-athletes compete in the Tyson Invitational Friday and Saturday at the Tyson Track Center.
The event features several schools from power-five conferences including Alabama, Arizona State, Arkansas, Baylor, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, LSU, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Northwestern (Ill.), Oklahoma and USC.
SLU will be represented by
Stevon Crooks (shot put),
Devin King (pole vault), Riccardo Klotz (pole vault),
Cliff Resias (60m, 200m),
D.J. Ruffin (long jump) and
Donovan Storr (200m, 400m) will be in action for the men while
Ashley Davis (shot put) and
Alexia Stein (weight throw) will hit the field for the women.
Ruffin, a senior from Gautier, Mississippi, has had a phenomenal start to the indoor season. The Gautier High School grad has won the long jump in all three events he has competed in this year (Bayou Bengal Invitational – Jan. 31, McNeese II Indoor – Jan. 25 and Arkansas Invitational – Jan. 11).
King, a senior from Kentwood, Louisiana, finished second at the Bayou Bengal Invitational in the pole vault behind LSU's Mondo Duplantis (National Record Holder in the pole vault). King looks to continue his quest for a fourth straight trip to the NCAA National Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
Resias, a senior from Nassau, Bahamas, has won the 200m twice this year at the KMS Invitational Jan. 27 in Birmingham, Alabama and the Arkansas Invitational Jan. 11 in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
"This meet is as good as you will see in the country," said second-year SLU track head coach
Corey Mistretta. "Our kids will see where they stand against the best on the national level. It's going to be very exciting all weekend. This is the kind of meet you dream about going to because of the caliber of the competition."
SLU's next full squad meet is Friday, Feb. 15 at the LSU Twilight in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
