With one meet under their belt, the Chattanooga outdoor track and field team heads to Atlanta, Ga., for the 2019 Emory Invitational this weekend at the Woodruff Physical Education Center.

"This is one of the kids' favorite meets of the year," Chattanooga head coach Andy Meyer said. "It has many teams we don't usually see and the races are always very fast and competitive. We will be at the front of several of the races so we are hoping and looking for some great performances especially in the 800, 5K and steeplechase."

The meet begins Friday afternoon with Hannah Salami in the 400 meter Hurdles at 3:30 p.m. Nicole Buehrle will wrap up the track events on Day One with the 3000 meter Steeplechase at 4:30 p.m.

In the Friday field events, Rebekah Hampton and Rebekah Bryant will start off with the long jump at 3:00 p.m.

Saturday's events will get underway with the men's 5000 meter run heat #2 of 4 at 9:30 a.m. with Mark Britt and Jonathan Boyd. The Mocs will run a variety of sprints, middle and long distance races Saturday as well as several relays and the women's triple jump.

Live scoring will be available on the UTC Track and Field schedule page on GoMocs.com. Results and a recap will be posted on the official website of Chattanooga athletics along with remarks from head coach Andy Meyer following the race.

"The facilities are outstanding and help generate good times and marks," Meyer said. "The kids have trained well and are excited for this race."
