Toledo Heads to Grand Valley State for Bob Eubanks Open

TOLEDO, OH – The Toledo women's track & field program will continue its season at the Bob Eubanks Open in the Kelly Family Sports Center. The meet will take place on Friday, Jan. 15 in Allendale, MI. The women's pentathlon will kick off the meet at 10:15 a.m. with the rest of the events set to begin at 3:00 p.m.

The Rockets will compete against the host Grand Valley State, as well as Mid-American Conference members Bowling Green and Eastern Michigan. Rounding out the field will be Anderson, Chicago State, Cornerstone, Davenport, DePaul, Detroit-Mercy, Ferris State, Guelph, Indianapolis, Michigan State, North Central, Oakland, Ursuline, UWAC, Valparaiso and Windsor.

A more complete track & field squad will run at this weekend.

"A lot of the student-athletes who raced at BG will now gravitate towards their main events," head coach Linh Nguyen said." The student-athletes who did not race last week will race non-traditional events for them."

The Rockets will be looking to hit more MAC automatic qualifying times. Junior Madeline Pacella hit the MAC auto in the high jump with a 1.69m jump at the Oiler Opener in December.

The team last competed the BG Opener last weekend, where three Rockets garnered top-three performances. Junior Aly Domoras finished second in the pole vault with a 3.35m jump, junior Emily Wyrick took home second in the 600m with a time of 1:42.59 and freshman Jennifer Lichter set a personal best in the one mile run with a time time of 5:08.15 which earned her third place. UT finished fourth in team scoring.

"The meet was about what we expected after a three week break," head coach Linh Nguyen said. "We used it as a training tool for our student-athletes."

The Midnight Blue & Gold will be back in action on Friday, Jan. 22 at the Tom Wright Classic in Bowling Green, OH.
