Season Stats

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For the second time in 2017, the Bulldogs are headed for the Music City.

The last trip to Nashville proved incredibly successful, where 34 personal bests were shattered and three school records were broken.

MSU will look to replicate that performance in a two-day stay this weekend, competing in 32 events Friday and Saturday.

Senior JaQuarius Wilson will be making his first appearance since Jan. 19 when he took second in the Samford Heptathlon.

The Bulldogs will have another opportunity to compete against nationally ranked competition, as #7/3 Georgia, #23 Southern Illinois, #15 Ole Miss and #18Virginia Tech all find themselves ranked inside the USTFCCCA's top-25.

"We are excited to get back to Nashville and compete at Vanderbilt's facility again," MSU coach Steve Dudley said. "This is the second of three trips we will be making here this season, and we are glad to be able to familiarize ourselves with this track before SEC Indoor Championships in a few weeks. We had a really good showing here last month, and we are hoping to have a similar performance."
