LARAMIE, Wyo. (January 31, 2019) – The Wyoming track & field teams will join over 20 other schools at the Colorado Invitational in Boulder, Colo., this weekend. On Friday, Feb. 1, five of the six field events (all except the shot put) as well as the seeded mile will take place, with action starting at 9 a.m. On Saturday, Feb. 2, the shot put and the rest of the track events will be contested, and the day will begin at 11 a.m.
 
"It's going to be a really good opportunity," "We're about midway through our indoor season, and we've talked about getting better each and every week. I think the University of Colorado and the teams that are going to be there will provide the competition we need. Also, it's a brand new facility, and it's going to be an opportunity for all our athletes to put up some good performances."
 
The Pokes are coming off a solid performance at the Powder River Dual that was held last weekend in Gillette, Wyo. Both teams saw many personal bests and positive improvements from marks set earlier in the season.
