Technical Remote Heads to Boston, Sprints and Stay on the Lubbock field – The Daily Toreador

Texas Tech Track and Field will host the Jarvis Scott meeting at Lubbock on Friday and Saturday for the final home meeting of the regular season.

The Red Raider Distance team will not compete in Lubbock. Instead, Tech runners will travel to Boston, Massachusetts, for David Hemery Valentine Invitational on the same days. Top 20 teams like Baylor and Iowa will also participate.

The Tech women’s team is ranked first in the polls of the US and Pole and Cross Coaches Association. This is the highest ranking that the women’s team has received, according to technological athletics.

“We are grateful that we are number one right now,” said Calvin Robinson, an associated chief coach and sprints and obstacle coach, “But this is at the end of the season where it really is.”

The depth of the Tech list is the largest power not only for the women’s team, but also for the men’s team, which is ranked fourth in the USTFCCCA polls, Robinson said.

“It just shows how good this team is this year really this year,” said Fanny Arend, a senior runner of distance, “And how much work we put in the fall, the pre -season and even now every day the work we put to be to be to be to We are best in the country. “

Charlie Bartolomey, a senior sprinter, said the recent women’s team ranking helped to push the men’s team even better.

“We just hear, ‘Oh Tech can’t do this, Tech can’t do it,” said Bartolomey, “But we just feel like we’re just going to wait until the championship season to make the most of talking. “

Tech will take a one -week vacation before returning for the big 12 championships on February 28 and March 1 at Lubbock at the Sports Performance Center, according to Tech Athletics.
