KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan track and field team will open the 2018 outdoor season on Friday at the Victor Lopez Classic, hosted by Rice University.
In addition to the host Owls, the Broncos will battle Sam Houston, Lamar, Chicago State, Tulsa, Tulane, Louisiana Tech, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Arkansas Little Rock, McNeese State and Houston.
WMU has had three weeks off since the end of its season at the Mid-American Conference Indoor Championship and is eager to move on from a disappointing end to the indoor season.
"I think everyone realizes we should have finished higher at the MAC Championship," said head coach Kelly Lycan.
