Track And Field Set To Take On In-State Foes

The Drake University men's and women's track and field teams face three in-state rivals this Saturday with the annual Big Four Big Four Duals at Iowa State's Lied Recreation-Athletic Facility.

The meet will feature competitors from all four Division I Iowa universities with Drake, Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Iowa all vying for in-state bragging rights.

The meet is the second indoor contest of 2015 after the Bulldogs shook of the rust from a month-long break at last weekend's Holiday Inn Invitational in Lincoln, Neb. The two teams combined to record 15 performances that ranked in the top 10 of the field with Johnathan Osifuye (Woodbury, Minn.) taking first place in the triple jump.

With two competitions under their belt, the Bulldogs have recorded 15 performances this season that current rank in the top 10 on the Missouri Valley Performance list.

At last season's Big Four Duals, the men's team picked up a 73-63 win over Iowa State while the women's team fell to all three opponents.

Following this weekend's meet, the Bulldogs will visit Northern Iowa for the Jack Jennett Invitational Jan. 30-31 at the UNI Dome.
