COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Track & Field continues its 2018 indoor season with a trip to the Music City, Nashville Tenn., for the Vanderbilt Invitational, Jan. 19-20. More than 40 student-athletes will be in competition in the Black & Gold, with the bulk of field events happening Friday and the bulk of track events happening on Saturday.
The meet will start at 4 p.m. (CT) on Friday with the high jump and women's weight throw, while track events will start at 7 p.m. (CT) Friday with the women's 200m dash. On Saturday, the women's 3000m run (unseeded) will begin the day's action at 10 a.m. (CT), followed by the women's pole vault at 10:30 a.m. (CT). Live results will be available at cfpitiming.com.
Many of Mizzou's throwers and jumpers will be in action for the first time since December, including junior Landon Cuskelly (El Dorado, Kan.), who was a three-time NJCAA All-American in the high jump at Butler Community College. Cuskelly made his Tiger debut at the Missouri Holiday Opener (Dec. 8), where he posted a first place finish with a mark of 2.10 (6-10.75), which is just an inch short of a top-10 program mark.
Redshirt junior Gabi Jacobs (Bloomington, Ill.), who was an All-American in the discus at the NCAA Outdoor Championships last year, will throw the shot put at 11 a.m. (CT) on Saturday. Jacobs opened her indoor season by winning the shot put at the Missouri Holiday Opener (Dec. 8) with a mark of 14.95m (49-0.75). In the shot put, Jacobs will be joined by redshirt freshman Emily Stauffer (Reinholds, Penn.) and freshman Jordan Speer (Dighton, Kan.).
Junior Maya Cody (St. Louis, Mo.) and redshirt senior Megan Cunningham (Eureka, Mo.) will be among the notable entries for the Mizzou women, while redshirt senior Jerrad Mason (Bridgetown, Barbados) and freshman Austin Hindman (Wildwood, Mo.) will be in action for the men. Cody will run in the 200m dash on Friday and the 60m dash on Saturday. She currently holds in the third-best (24.07) and second-best (7.39) program times in those events, respectively. Cunningham, who coming off a standout cross country season where she earned NCAA All-Midwest Regional honors, will run in the 3000m run on Saturday.
For the men, Hindman will run in the mile run, while Mason will toe the line in the 400m dash, both on Saturday. Hindman opened his collegiate career by finishing fourth in the mile run at the Arkansas Invitational (Jan. 12), clocking a time of 4:12.39, while Mason will run for the first time in 2018. He currently holds the second-fastest in program history in the 400m dash (46.89) and the seventh-fastest time in the 200m dash (21.52).
