JONESBORO, Ark. (3/26/25) – Outdoor season is now in full swing for the Arkansas State track and field teams, which will travel to a pair of meets in Texas, as well as in Birmingham, Alabama, for the second week of competition.
Most of the team will compete in the Lone Star State, splitting time between the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin and the Bobcat Invitational in San Marcos, while other athletes will travel to Birmingham, Alabama, for the UAB Spring Invite.
The Red Wolves open competition in Austin and San Marcos on Thursday, while the UAB Spring Invite begins Friday. SEC Network+ will stream portions of Friday and Saturday events at the Texas Relays.
THREE THINGS TO NOTE:
1. CONFERENCE LEADERS: Arkansas State leads the Sun Belt early in the outdoor season in multiple events, listed below.
MEN
110m Hurdles: Colby Eddowes – 13.58
Shot Put: Menachem Chen – 17.37m/57-0
Hammer: Noa Isaia – 60.50m/198-6
2. STARTING STRONG: A-State had several athletes post personal-best marks in its opener last weekend at the Bulldog Relays, which included four by Colby Eddowes. The Red Wolves also had an addition to the all-time top-10 in the shot put, with Menachem Chen's throw of 17.37m (57-0).
3. AMONG THE NATION'S BEST: It's no doubt that the Red Wolves will compete against some of the nation's top athletes this weekend in Texas, but present company is not excluded.
