BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana track & field team will travel to Louisville this weekend for the Border Battle meet on Saturday April 12 at Cardinal Park.

The meet is scheduled to get underway on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. with the men’s and women’s hammer throw and shot put at the throws field.
Running events at Cardinal Park will start at 12:00 p.m. with prelims of hurdles and 100m dashes. The final event of the day will be the men’s 4X400-meter relay at 4:30 p.m.
