Minnesota returns to action on the east coast at the Duke Invitational on Friday and Saturday.
MINNEAPOLIS -- The University of Minnesota track & field program returns to action this weekend on the east coast at the Duke Invitational on Friday, April 19 and Saturday, April 20, held at Morris Williams Track & Field Stadium.
While the Maroon & Gold are competing in Durham, N.C., another contingency of Gopher competitors will be in action in St. Paul at the Concordia-St. Paul Lady Bear Twilight on Friday, April 15 at Sea Foam Stadium.
Last Time Out: Jim Click Shootout
Weather caused the Gophers to cancel the Minnesota Spring Open last weekend, giving the Maroon & Gold a brief break from competition. Two weeks ago, Minnesota swept the men's and women's team titles at Arizona's Jim Click Shootout. The Minnesota women cruised to the team title with 193 points behind seven event titles while the Gopher men followed suit with a team title behind 156 points and a pair of event titles. Recap

Matthew Rosen, Teddy Frid, Jackson Wellenstein, Jonathan Tharaldsen, Evan Ferlic, Temi Ogunrinde, Kiley Sabin, Rachel Schow, and Patty O'Brien are leading the Gophers as captains this season. Ogunrinde returns to the team's leadership corps after serving as a captain last season while O'Brien and Ferlic continue their captaincy after leading the Gopher cross country squad this fall.
2019 Outdoor Schedule Highlights

The facility features a nine-lane track with the Beynon 2000 surface, full-field event hosting capabilities, versatile configuration, fully enclosed, heated warm-up and cool down areas, and grandstands with the capacity to host major competitions.
