BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – For the third consecutive year, the Indiana State track and field teams will head to Indiana University for the Gladstein Invitational on Friday and Saturday.
 
The Sycamores are coming off of a narrow 154-148 loss against Illinois State at the Terre Haute Double Dual last Saturday. The men fell to the Redbirds by a score of 79-72, while the women were able to hold on for a 76-75 win.
 
Friday will feature three national top-50 athletes for the Sycamores, starting with Cassaundra Roper in the weight throw. Roper is coming of a lifetime-best performance at the Terre Haute Double Dual where she posted a mark of 18.77m (61-07.00), which sits at second in the Missouri Valley and 40th nationally.
 
Taylor Austin and Brooke Moore will have the opportunity to compete in the fast section of the mile run on Friday night. Austin recorded a personal-best time last weekend in the mile of 4:51.08, good enough for third all-time at ISU, best in the Valley and 19th in the nation this year. This will be Moore's first time running the mile this season, but she is the Indiana State record-holder with a time of 4:43.04.
 
The 60-meter hurdles on Friday will feature Ayanna Morgan who currently sits at 34th nationally. At the EIU Early Bird, she set a meet record and recorded a career-best time at 8.46. Her time is third in Indiana State history. Last weekend at the Terre Haute Double Dual she claimed second-place in the 60-meter hurdles, crossing the line at 8.58, just .06 away from first.
 
On Saturday, one more top-50 Sycamore will hit the track with Brittany Neeley in the 600-meter run. This will be her first time running the event, but her teammate Imani Davis will join her and she recorded the sixth-best time in Indiana State history last year at 1:33.68.
 
Roper will also compete again on Saturday in the shot put where she claimed victory at the Terre Haute Double Dual and the EIU Friday Night Special.
 
The competition on Friday night will begin with the men's weight throw at 3:30 p.m. ET, with action on the track beginning at 4:20 p.m. Saturday will begin at 10:45 a.m. with the men's long jump and on the track at 10:50 a.m. with the women's 200-meter dash.
