TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo women's track & field team has a heavy schedule this weekend, sending its sprinters and jumpers to the Akron Invitational on Friday, Feb. 2 and distance runners to Notre Dame's Meyo Invitational on Friday-Saturday, Feb. 2-3.
Both invitationals will begin with Friday's field schedule at 4:00 p.m. Saturday's schedule at Notre Dame is set to begin at 10:00 a.m.
Toledo's distance runners had another impressive performance at Michigan's Invitational last weekend, achieving two individual race wins, 15 personal-best times, and eight program top-10 record times. Graduate student Laura Nicholson won the mile with the third-fastest time in school history and the fastest time of all MAC runners this season. Freshman Melody Jebiwot and senior Vilde Henriksen had a 1-2 finish in the 5,000m. Margrett Watt took third in the 600m (1:35.50) and seventh in the 800m (2:11.70) with her times ranking No. 2 and No. 5 in program history, respectively.
Nicholson's performance earned her a second MAC Women's Track & Field Athlete of the Week nod.
Five members of the Toledo men's cross country team will make the trip to Notre Dame to run the 3,000m race on Saturday morning.
