Mississippi State Hosts Al Schmidt Bulldog Relays Tomorrow
March 22, 2018 | Track & Field
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State's track and field program will host the 2018 Al Schmidt Bulldog Relays on Friday and Saturday.
Competition begins with field events at 11 a.m. CT both days. Running events will begin at 3 p.m. on Friday and noon and Saturday.
"We're very excited," head coach Steve Dudley said. "This is a chance for our athletes to compete at home in front of their friends and our fans as well as the large group of alumni we have coming back for our alumni night this weekend."
The Bulldog men are ranked No. 14 in the USTFCCCA preseason poll and return seven qualifiers from last year's NCAA Outdoor Championships. The team returns its top mark holder from 2017 in 11-of-18 individual events on the men's side and in 10-of-18 for the women.
MSU is coming off an indoor season that saw the Bulldogs put up 19 marks that sit inside the Top Five in indoor school history. Freshman Anderson Peters continued the record-setting trend with a throw that ranks fifth all-time in the javelin last weekend at the Jaguar Classic.
The Bulldogs will welcome teams from Alabama-Huntsville, Alcorn State, Arkansas State, Grambling State, Jackson State, Lane College, Lemoyne-Owen, Memphis, Meridian Community College, Mississippi Valley State, Missouri State, Mobile, New Orleans, Rust College, Samford, Southeast Missouri, Tennessee Tech, UAB and West Alabama.
