Highlighting the Bulldog's postseason campaign are senior hurdler Rosealee Cooper, sophomore high jumper Sherman Hawkins and freshman sprinter Jordan Ware. Cooper currently holds a 12th-ranked qualifying mark and the 6th-best SEC time in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.13, while Ware and Hawkins both sit 17th on the NCAA Championships qualifying list in their respective events.

Senior middle distance runner Tyrese Reid will compete in the 800m race, where he holds the 4th best performance time in the SEC this season at 1:47.87, less than a second behind the top SEC time. Roury McCloyen currently ranks 6th in the SEC in the shot put and is the only freshman ranked on the SEC's top 10 performance list season.

The women's 4x400m squad, featuring Michaela McCall, Jessicka Woods, Chanice Spicer and Cooper, will continue its efforts to beat the school record. Most recently at the Tiger Paw Invite, the relay team earned a time of 3:38.88, just eighty-four hundredths of a second behind the school record of 3:38.04 set in 2015 by Shayla Luckett, Erica Bougard, Ste'yce McNeil and Ocian Archer.
