LUBBOCK, Texas - The SFA track and field team travel to Lubbock to participate in the Corky Classic, hosted by Texas Tech.
The classic is a two-day event, starting on Friday with the women's weight throw and wrapping up with the men's 4x400 relay on Saturday.
Head Coach Robert Hansen and his staff are excited to see their athletes compete against some high-level competition. "Making the trip to Texas Tech each year is a multitude of different things," said Coach Hansen. "We see amazing competition, which makes us battle-hardened. Exposure to the best pushes us to be at our best. This meet is also a great opportunity to build some camaraderie. I'm excited to see how our entire program responds and competes across the state in Lubbock."
Players to watch
• Jamie Richardson is coming off a strong year at Grambling State last season, including a third-place finish at the 2024 SWAC Outdoor Championship. She placed fifth in the high jump last weekend at the Leonard Hilton Memorial Invitational in Houston.
• Parker Meyer and Joel Aihia will be competing in the men's 60m dash. Joel placed seventh last week in Houston with a time of 6.94. Parker will be making his season debut.
• Robert Fulle and Blake Hyatt will be representing SFA in the 800m. Blake placed eighth last week, while Robert will be making his season debut.
• Timiejha Furlow will take part in the women's 60m after running a 7.62 last week, good enough for third place.
• Kennedy Swann will also be making her season debut. The sprinter will look to improve upon a strong year last year.
• Amirah Wooden will be competing in the women's weight throw. She placed sixth last week at the Invitational.
