SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Indiana State men's and women's track and field teams will split squad this weekend and send athletes to the Meyo Invite at Notre Dame and the Indiana Wesleyan University Invite.
 
Both the Indiana State men's and women's teams are ranked 11th this week in the Great Lakes Regional rankings. The women's team is still ranked in the top-25 nationally in dual meet rankings, staying in at 21st.
 
The Meyo Invite attracts some of the nation's top athletes each year, and currently two Sycamores sit inside the top-50 in their events. Daley Carter owns a time of 7.87 in the 60-meter hurdles, which puts him at second in the conference and 26th in the nation.
 
On the women's side, Erin Reese sits at 50th in the country in the weight throw after posting a mark of 18.96m (62-02.50) at the Gladstein Invite. Her mark is good enough for second in the Valley and eighth all-time at Indiana State.
 
Ayanna Morgan will look to continue her dominance in the 60-meter hurdles this weekend in South Bend. Last weekend at the Mark Messersmith Invite at UNI, Morgan put on another impressive performance by winning the event with a new career-best time of 8.43, best in the MVC and second all-time at ISU.
 
Making her debut in the 3K this season will be Taylor Austin, who will be competing in the invitational section and owns the fourth-best time in school history at 9:48.36 from 2016. This season she has competed primarily in the mile, where she is number one in the Valley and owns the second-best time in Indiana State history.
 
Hunter Schuman, Cassaundra Roper, and Jasmine Noel will lead the Sycamores in the throws at the Meyo Invite. Schuman is coming off of a second-place performance in the weight throw at the Mark Messersmith Invite. His mark of 18.59m (61-00.00) is third in the MVC.
 
Roper will be competing in both the shot put and weight throw. Her mark of 14.55m (47-09.00) in the shot put is second in the conference and she is third in the conference in the weight throw at 18.77m (61-07.00). Close behind Roper in the weight throw is Noel, who sits at fifth in the Valley with a mark of 18.73m (61-05.50) from the Mark Messersmith Invite.
 
Five Sycamores currently sit atop their events in the Missouri Valley Conference, including Brittany Neeley (800-meter run), Taylor Austin (mile), Ayanna Morgan (60-meter hurdles), Kim Jackson (pole vault) and Gino Brown (triple jump).
 
The delegation of Sycamores heading to IWU include all of the ISU pole vaulters and high jumpers, as well as a few distance runners, hurdlers and sprinters.
 
Leading the women at IWU will be Kim Jackson in the pole vault, who is coming off of a career-best performance at the Mark Messersmith Invite. She recorded a mark of 3.75m (12-03.50) which increased her already Valley-leading mark in the event. Jackson now holds the 10th-best indoor mark in school history.
 
Trey Kennedy will lead the men at IWU in the pole vault, as he currently is fourth in the MVC with a mark of 4.88m (16-00.00), which he recorded at the EIU Early Bird meet.
 
Action will begin Friday at the Meyo Invite at 4:00 p.m. with the women's long jump. Fans will be able to watch live on ESPN3 and WatchESPN from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
