The three-day meet begins on Thursday and runs through Saturday, May 25. Athletes and relay teams that finish in the top-12 earn a spot at the NCAA National Championships held in Austin, Texas beginning June 5.

“The fun thing about this meet now, you go to the Mountain West and it’s about scoring points for your team, but this one is all about putting it all out there,” said head coach Bryan Berryhill. “If you’re timid or don’t go out there and compete at 100 percent, you’re definitely not going to make it through. You don’t have to look at it as scoring points, it’s just doing the best you can.”
