UW track meet pushed back to Sunday

Mother nature has pushed back the inaugural Gem City Dual, presented by Qdoba Mexican Grill, one day. Rhe met was scheduled for Saturday, but instead will run on Sunday, beginning at 11 a.m. at the Louis S. Madrid Sports Complex.

The weather has restricted the University of Utah from traveling to Laramie, so the dual will feature Colorado State vs. Wyoming.

The gates open at 9:30 a.m., with ticket prices starting at $3 for youth and $5 for adults, UW student’s entry is free with student ID. The Gem City Dual will be the lone meet hosted by the Cowboys and Cowgirls before they host the Mountain West Conference Championships May 13-16.

The field events will begin with the women’s hammer throw, men’s shot put, and women’s long jump at 11 a.m. While the track events start at 11:45 with the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase kicking things off. The meet will conclude at 3:25 with the men’s 4x400-meter relay finishing the dual.

Results will be posted on site as well as available at www.wyomingathletics.com.
