The Green and White will be split up amongst four different competitions this weekend
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — After a solid showing at the annual Meyo Invitational, Feb. 5-6, the Eastern Michigan University men's track and field team returns to competition this weekend, Feb. 12-13. The Eagles will attend four different events throughout the Midwest over the two-day span.
Beginning on Friday, Feb. 12, an EMU contingent will head west, traveling back to Allendale, Mich. for the GVSU Big Meet. That same day, a group of Eagle throwers will be attending the 8th annual Elite Throws Competition, held at the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio. Additionally, a third group will be traveling even further west, heading to Ames, Iowa for the Iowa State Classic, which will span both days. Finally, junior Tyler Brown (Findlay, Ohio - Findlay) will also compete in the Spire Invitational, held in Geneva, Ohio.
Last weekend, the Green and White turned in a number of great performances at the Meyo Invite. On the first day, freshman Aitor Ekobo (Madrid, Spain - Jose Luis Lopez Aranguren Secondary School) finished seventh in the 60m dash prelims, clocking in at a career-best 6.88. Senior Bryce Lindsey (New Middletown, Ohio - Fairfield Senior) also posted a top-10 finish, as he crossed the 60m hurdles finish line in 8.15 to qualify to the semifinals. The Eagles' highest event finish came in the distance medley, where the group nabbed third-place with a time of 9:59.48. Another freshman set a career-best as well, with Nicholas Herbert (Portage, Mich. - Portage Northern) posting a mark of 7.08 meters/ 23 feet 2.75-inches in the long jump. Redshirt junior Anthony Jones (Sandusky, Ohio - Sandusky) had another solid mark in the weight throw, finishing fourth with a toss of 20.86 meters/ 68 feet 5.25-inches.
