CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The Chattanooga women's track team is back in action for the second straight week. The Mocs will compete at the UAB Green and Gold Invitational at the CrossPlex.

"We are looking to build on the success of last week," Chattanooga head coach Andy Meyer said. "We had several ladies make the invite finals and are sitting with very good times in these heats."

Madelyn Thompson is entered in both the 60 meter dash and hurdles. She will be joined in the sprint by Sage Davis and McKenzie Williamson.

Abby Bateman recorded a PR earlier this season in the 800 meter and will run the Invite Friday evening. The will be followed by the Mile Invite with Lesley Green, Nicole Buehrle and Ashlynd Broling. The 3000 meter Invite will have Green, Hannah Caldwell and Mattie Parker.

Friday's competition will close with two Chattanooga teams entered in the Distance Medley Relay.

Saturday morning will start off with the 3000 meter run featuring Emily Poole, Makenzie Jones and Sophia Neglia. Sydney Cansler, Katie Coker and Jada Hale will take part in the 400 meter dash. It will be the first race for all three at the shorter distance.

The 60 meter dash and hurdle semifinals will run at Noon Central time with the final to follow the official break.

Hale and Cansler will return to the track for the 800 meter in the mid-afternoon and action will close out for the Mocs with Williamson, Davis and Thompson in the 200 meter dash.

"This meet is for the girls to continue improving their times, but also to work on pack placing, getting comfortable running off the banking and trying to refine and hone race strategy," Meyer said. "It's very different and almost becomes an art form running surrounded by eight other kids all trying to maintain and keep position through the race.

"UAB has invite some very good teams and individuals and this will certainly be a challenge for our ladies!"
