LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech track and field program will begin its outdoor portion of the season this Friday and Saturday between the TCU Invite and the ACU Wes Kittley Invite.
Tech throws and pole vault squads will be at TCU, while the rest of the Red Raiders travel down the road to Abiliene for the 11th annual Wes Kittley Invite.
The Red Raiders capped off the indoor season with a pair of top-10 team finishes at the men placed eighth overall, while the women's team place 10th with a program-high 21.5 points – 16.5 points coming from high and triple jump. Earlier Thursday afternoon, Kittley was named the USTFCCCA Men's and Women's Mountain Region Coach of the Year. Malachi Snow earned the region's Men's Track Athlete of the Year as Temitope Adeshina claimed the region's Women's Field Athlete of the Year.
