WICHITA—The Wichita State track and field program will hold a scrimmage throughout next week and the event will be open to the public, Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Steve Rainbolt announced Thursday.
 
"We have wanted to provide a little bit of an opportunity to reestablish a competitive mindset this fall since all of the athletes missed the spring time track season," Rainbolt said. "I'm really excited to watch our athletes compete again even if it is a lowkey inner squad scrimmage. I know the athletes are looking forward to getting out and testing themselves in a competitive setting."
 
Monday and Tuesday's will take place in the Heskett Center. Thursday and Friday's events will take place at Cessna Stadium. Monday will start the week at 1:30 p.m. with the high jump. Tuesday will include eight different events, but starts at 12:45 p.m. with a shot put section for multi-event athletes. After a break on Wednesday, the outdoor section begins Thursday with the hammer throw at 1 p.m. Friday's schedule kicks off at 12:30 p.m. with the shot put.
