Coach Eric Houle Said:
"This is the time of year we start splitting the team to find the best competition for each of the event areas. University of Washington has always proven to be great competition for the distance athletes. Idaho State is more a sprint, jump and throw competition and so I hoping for some good marks coming out of both sites this weekend."

Both teams are coming off of record-breaking performances last week at the NAU Lumberjack Team Challenge.
The men's team was once again led by Cedar English, who landed with a first-place finish in the long jump with a distance of 24'08.25", setting a new school record.
