Green and White Jet to West Coast for Trio of Meets

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Following a weekend free of competition due to inclement weather, the Eastern Michigan University women's track and field team will resume action this week, April 14-16, with a trio of meets out in California. The Eagles will compete at the Beach Pacific Coast Invitational, April 14, the Beach Invitational, April 15-16, and the Mt. SAC Relays, April 14-16.

The Green and White will be sending a much larger contingent out to the west coast than in previous years. In fact, the last time the Eagles sent a sizable number of athletes to compete at the Mt. SAC Relays was in 2011 when Jessica Hemmingway broke her own school record in the pole vault, clearing a mark of 13 feet 11.25-inches. Hemmingway's outdoor record still stands to this day, but her indoor record was bested in 2013 by Alysha Newman.

The Beach Pacific Coast Invitational picks up Thursday at 9 a.m. with the men's hammer throw, and concludes at 6:05 p.m. with the men's 4x400m relay. Additionally, the Beach Invitational is slated to begin Friday, April 15, at 8:30 a.m. with the 10000m. This meet ends Saturday, April 16, at 6:40 p.m. with the men's 4x400m relay.
