Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University (APSU) track and field team begins the second half of its outdoor season at Indiana’s Indiana Invitational, Friday-Saturday at the Robert C. Haugh Complex in Bloomington, Indiana.
The Governors will compete in 16 events at Indiana’s event, beginning on Friday at 4:00pm with the hammer throw and concluding with the 1500 meter on Saturday at 7:15pm.
The weekend marks the first time the Govs have traveled to Indiana’s event since competing in the 2019 Billy Hayes Invitational.
