CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's track and field team will closes out the regular season this weekend at the War Eagle Invitational at the Hutsell-Rosen Track on the Auburn campus.

"This is our tune up race before the conference," Chattanooga head coach Andy Meyer said. "We had a couple of good weeks since our last meet. A couple of kids have been able to heal up and are ready to return to running."

Friday's events feature the women's 1500 and 5000 meter invitational races along with the men's 3000 meter steeplechase. Nicole Buehrle will run the 1500m and Hannah Caldwell and Sophia Neglia both qualified for the 5K.

Saturday will be a full afternoon of events beginning with the 100 meter hurldes with Rebekah Hampton and conclude with the 4x400 meter relay Buehrle will be tested once again on the 400 meter hurdles along with Hannah Salami.

"The girls are looking to compete hard and race fast, as Auburn always produces fast, very competitive races," Meyer said. "This is the last chance to post times for some of the kids to get into the fast heats at conference next week. It's also a huge opportunity to gain some momentum going into the conference meet."

Several members of the men's cross country team will also be competing at the invitational. Mark Britt will run the 3000 meter steeplechase on Friday. He and others will run the 800m, 1500m and 5K on Saturday.

The Mocs will compete next weekend at the Southern Conference Championships hosted by Samford in Birmingham, Ala.
