FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – One final weekend of competition will serve as a tune-up for Mississippi State's track and field program before the Bulldogs head to the SEC Outdoor Championships on May 9-11.
MSU will split the weekend between the National Relays in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and the Southern Miss Open in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Both meets will be run over April 26-27. MSU's No. 11 men's team will meet four ranked opponents in Arkansas, while the women are up against five other top-25 teams, including the top-ranked host Razorbacks.
The National Relays will be streamed live on SEC Network+ on Friday afternoon beginning at 3 p.m. CT. The relay events on Saturday will air live on SEC Network beginning at 10 a.m. The meet will be scored in the usual 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 fashion, but only the six men's and six women's relays will count toward team scores.
The Southern Miss Open will be broadcast by FloTrack and can be accessed with a paid subscription.
Alicia Viveros gets things started for the Bulldogs on Friday with the women's discus throw at the National Relays at 2 p.m. All individual track events will be contested on the first day of the meet. State will run in the men's and women's 100m, 200m, 400m and 400m hurdles with the addition of Mia Meydrich and Emma Tucker in the women's 1500m that evening.
The members of #JavU return to action after a weekend off beginning with the men at 4 p.m. National leader Anderson Peters is joined by Curtis Thompson and Tyriq Horsford who won gold for Trinidad and Tobago at the CARIFTA Games on Monday. Sarah Blake will compete in the women's event a 6 p.m.
Action in Hattiesburg begins at 3:30 p.m. on Friday with Gralyn Jones taking the runway in the men's triple jump. MSU will also have athletes compete in the women's triple jump, women's hammer throw and women's pole vault at Southern Miss.

Saturday will see MSU run four relays in Arkansas. The men's 4x100m relay opens the day at 10:02 a.m. State will also compete in the women's 4x800m and the men's and women's 4x400m relays. Viveros returns to the ring for the shot put at 11 a.m.
The bulk of the weekend's competition will be held at Southern Miss on Saturday, beginning with the women's high jump at 11:30 a.m. MSU is primarily entered in field events but will have a large group of distance runners competing in the 1500m and 3000m.
