HUNTINGTON, W.Va.-Marshall track and field returns to action at home Friday for the two-day Thundering Herd Invitational. The fourth annual meet takes place at the Jeff Small Track at the Chris Cline Indoor Athletic Complex.
The meet starts Friday at 3:30 p.m. and continues Saturday at 9 a.m. A full schedule can be found here. The first event for Herd athletes is the women's pentathlon beginning at 4 p.m. Friday.
Tickets for the event are $7 for adults, $5 for ages 17 and under, and $3 for groups of 10 people or more. Marshall students gain free admission with a student ID.
Including Marshall, 13 schools representing eight conferences and seven states will compete in Huntington.
