WICHITA, Kan. — About half of Wichita State's track & field student-athletes will travel this week to participate in the Arkansas Twilight Friday, May 4 at Fayetteville, Ark.

This weekend offers the Wichita State men's and women's track & field teams one final tune-up before hosting the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Championships May 11-13 at Cessna Stadium.

The Arkansas Twilight opens with the women's hammer at 11 a.m. Running events begin with the women's 4x100-meter relay at 6 p.m. and the meet concludes with the men's 4x400-meter relay at 9:10 p.m.

Most Shocker athletes will compete in just one or two events Friday at John McDonnell Field.

Both the Wichita State men's and women's track and field teams are ranked seventh in the Midwest Region on the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association rankings.
