"Last week when Kaitlyn Crean broke the school record in the high jump. She's fought really hard to get herself back on the track after having surgery a few weeks ago and I'm looking forward to seeing her jump this weekend."
"Karmen Auble will be competing in her first college heptathlon after competing in the pentathlon at the indoor BIG EAST Championship. Along with the pole vault, I think this is where Karmen's future in the sport will be when it comes to competing at a high level. This will be a great first test for her going into the outdoor championship in the event."
"Coming off her double personal best in the 800-meter run out in California last week, I'm excited to see what Tori Chiller can do in the 1,500-meter run. She's motivated, focused and racing very well right now."
"Things are really starting to come together for Brenna McGrath in both the 200 and 400-meter dashes. She had a great meet at Ball State so I'm looking forward to her competing in the 400 this weekend. When she's on, she can be a great addition to our women's long sprint group."
"Sydney Larkin will have a number of events to compete in this weekend, including the 4x100, 200-meter dash and 4x400. She's had a great season so far and this meet will serve as another tuneup for her before going into some of the larger meets coming up like the Penn Relays and the BIG EAST Championships."
Zachary Polk - Long jump
Russell Platt - 100-meter dash
Dimitrious Dimitroff - 100-meter dash
Nolan Daniels - 1,500-meter run, 800-meter run
Jordan Shepherd - 1,500-meter run, 800-meter run
Caleb Hernandez - 400-meter dash
Grant Stapleton - 800-meter run
Josh Phelan - 400-meter hurdles
Matthew Bryant - 200-meter dash
Matt Mekaelian - 3,000-meter run
Charles Korodi - 3,000-meter run
William Becker - 3,000-meter run
Grayson Jenkins - 3,000-meter run
"In the men's long jump, I'm looking for Zach Polk to put everything together and pop a great jump leading into the Penn Relays next week. This will be his last chance to clean up the little things before going into the biggest competition of his life next week at the Penn Relays."
"In the men's 800-meter run, we have an opportunity to place three in the top-10. Both Grant and Nolan are coming off PR performances last week and Jordan has looked great in practice. This should be a fun race to watch."
"Grayson Jenkins will be racing the 3,000-meter run this weekend and is in a loaded field. The freshman will really have to step it up and go for it against some great competition from Louisville and Eastern Kentucky."
Xavier travels to the Penn Relays on April 27-29 and the RedHawk Invitational on April 30.
