• Xavier most recently competed at the Oliver Nikoloff Open (March 31) and the Raleigh Relays (March 30-31). The Musketeers set two school records and had four student-athletes establish new personal-best times in North Carolina. Xavier also broke one school record and had six student-athletes post personal-best marks/times at UC.
"Normally this is a weekend where we rest most of our top athletes and give more opportunities to others but I decided to load up on both the men's and women's side for this meet. I made this decision because we didn't get a lot of opportunities to race during indoor due to illness and injury. I know our athletes are fit, I just need to get them more race ready. The only way to do that is to have them race more. Because they don't have the 5K, we won't be racing Britton, Sinning, Clayworth or Prial but we will have almost all of our top guys and girls out there."
"On the women's side, we have our top 1500 and 800 runners competing along with our top 800 runners on the men's side. Although we won't see the return of Polk and Taylor at this meet, our sprints and jumps side have looked really strong lately, with three school records coming from that group last weekend."
• The Musketeers return to action on Saturday, April 14 at the Ball State Challenge in Muncie, Ind.
