January 12, 2011
The Dakota State University women's and men's indoor track and field teams are eager to open their season on Saturday. After canceling their season opener at Wayne State on Dec. 11, 2010 due to dangerous winter weather, the Trojans compete in the Dordt Invitational. The meet will be held at the Recreation Center in Sioux Center, Iowa.
The field event will start at 9:45 a.m. with the women's long jump, men's pole vault, women's weight throw and women's high jump. The first running event begins at 10:30 a.m. with the women's 1000-meter run followed by the men's at approximately 10:45 a.m. The final event of the day is the 4 x 400-meter relay with the women's at 3:20 and men's at 3:45 p.m.
Most schools from the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) - Dordt, Morningside, Mount Marty, Northwestern (Iowa), Briar Cliff, Dakota Wesleyan and University of Sioux Falls - along with Dakota State are expected to compete in the meet.
