Toledo Kicks Off Outdoor Season at Wake Forest Open

Winston-Salem, N.C. – The Toledo track and field program will kick off its outdoor season this weekend at the Wake Forest Open at Kentner Stadium. Competition is slated to take place on Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 19, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Toledo will be joined by 31 other schools throughout the country, including Mid-American Conference foes Buffalo and Ohio.
"Training is going well," head coach Linh Nguyen said. "We had a few people that were injured or ill at the end of indoor season and they've had a chance to get healthy. We were here for spring break and we focused on training."
The outdoor season adds different events, mostly on the distance side.
"We train towards the outdoor events even in the indoor season," Nguyen said. "We don't really need to adjust our focus in training."
Toledo wrapped up the indoor season at the 2015 MAC Indoor Championships. Senior Kyesha Neal scored in the shot put with a seventh place finish, and senior Priscilla Timmons finished eighth in the 3000m.
Following the Wake Forest Open, the Rockets will head back to North Carolina for the Raleigh Relays, hosted by NC State, on March 25-26.
