Austin Peay Lady Govs Track Field have Saluki Invite next

APSU Sports: Austin Peay Women’s Track and Field

Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University indoor track and field team returns to action, Friday and Saturday, at the Southern Illinois’ Saluki Invitational.

The Saluki Invitational gets underway with the field events beginning Friday, while the track events are slated for a Saturday start. Among the OVC schools participating are Murray State, Southeast Missouri, Tennessee Tech and UT Martin.

The Lady Govs are looking to build on a last week’s success at the Niswonger Invitational where they set a pair of school records. Most impressive was overtaking an 11-year old Distance Medley Relay mark. Tanesha Campbell also will look to continue her recent trend of improving the school record in the shot put.

Entering the Saluki Invitational, several Lady Govs already rank among the Ohio Valley Conference’s best. Junior Chantelle Grey holds the Ohio Valley Conference’s top 800-meter time, while sophomore Xiamar Richards is the league’s 5,000-meter leader.
