Events To Watch:
60 Meters:

The straighaway at the U of H is deemed the fastest in the world. Fast times seem to drop out of the sky at this meet. Having fast athletes perform there always helps and this year is no different. Alexis brown and Rachel Hall both had good performances last week and they will look to capitalize on them this weekend. Out of state competitors will come from Florida in the forms of Zakharia Frett and Dymond West.
The boys 60m will have some legit sprinters in the field and we should see several sub 7.00 times posted. Edward Sumler, Arlon Williams, and Arlon Williams will lead many H-town sprinters looking to defend their home turf. However, several Dallas and San Antonio spinters as well as other out of state guys will be trying to take the Carl Lewis Inv. title. Leading the charge will be guys like Keishawn Everly, Asante Fazarro, and nationally ranked hurdler Noah Green.
60 Hurdles:
Every race run on the straightaway at U of H is always fast. Add that with the mix of outstanding hurdlers in this field and you have a race ready to explode. As if that isn't enough -- one of the top athletes in track and field and Oregon commit Emily Sloan will be in the field tying to win a meet in Texas for the second straight year. Last year, she won the Texas A&M 60H race.
