BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Another big weekend awaits the Indiana Track and Field teams with competitive fields and better weather setting up the potential for fast times and big marks across the board.
IU will test their distance crew against some of the best in the nation this weekend at the Bryan Clay Invitational while Hope Purcell goes for a big mark in the Heptathlon at the same meet.
The rest of IU's roster will compete in Louisville. After a tough weekend of weather in Knoxville, IU's sprints, jumps, throws and pole vault will hope its trip to Louisville brings fast conditions to improve on times already run this season.

TENNESSEE INVITE AND TRITON INVITATIONAL RECAP
IU had its first split weekend of the outdoor season, sending athletes to the Tennessee Invite in Knoxville and the Triton Invitational in San Diego.
Jayden Ulrich bettered her school record in the discus with a massive, Big Ten-leading throw of 59.29m/194-6. She also threw a season's best in the shot put with a mark of 17.06m/55-11.75.
Makayla Hunter had a pair of personal bests in the javelin (48.36m/158-8) and the shot put (15.07m/49-5.5).
Paola Fernandez-Sola jumped a massive season's best in the long jump with a mark of 6.49m/21-3.5 in rainy conditions. She helped spearhead a strong effort from the women's jumps group with event titles in the long jump, triple jump (Mahogany Jenkins) and high jump (Taylor Schoonveld).
Claire Overfelt dominated over 5000 meters, winning her race by over 10 seconds in a personal best time of 16:45.91.
Camden Marshall ran a season's best 1:50.98 across 800 meters, leading a contingent of seven Hoosiers in the event.
Jake Gebhardt and Alyssa Skorge opened their seasons in the 3000-meter steeplechase with big marks of 8:59.77 and 10:39.55 respectively.
2023 OUTDOOR PRIMER
There are 21 events contested at the Big Ten and NCAA levels during the outdoor campaign. Outdoor-specific events include the 4x100 relay, the 1500 meters, the Steeplechase, the 10,000 meters, the 400-meter hurdles, the Discus, the Hammer and the Javelin. The Heptathlon (W)/Decathlon (M) also introduce new events to increase the workload.
A number of events will transition from indoor-specific distances to the standard outdoor distance. For example, the 60 meters indoors becomes 100 meters outdoors.
Despite losing the DMR in the transition to outdoors, the Hoosiers add a number of key pieces to its lineup this time of year.
Jayden Ulrich (Discus), Sean Mockler (Hammer) and Noah Koch (Discus) all add their strongest event. Ulrich was the 2022 Big Ten Champion as a freshman and she and Mockler both hold school records in their respective events.
The 1500 meters and Steeplechase have both been kind to the Hoosiers over the years. After a strong indoor season, Jake Gebhardt will steeple outdoors where he looks to score big points for the team.
Shaton Vaughn and David Olowookere have both been strong 400-meter hurdlers during their career and have the chance to run their primary event outdoors.
