Live Results
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A little under two weeks into the 2016 spring semester and most everyone and everything is returning to their regular routines on the University of Memphis campus, including those of the Tigers men's and women's track and field squads.
For a second-straight weekend, Memphis returns to competition. And, for the second time this indoor season, the Tigers make the three-hour trip to Nashville, Tenn., to participate in a Vanderbilt University meet, this time the Vanderbilt Invitational. Memphis kicked off its indoor season at the Commodore Indoor Opener Dec. 5, 2015.
This weekend's Vanderbilt Invitational starts Friday, Jan. 29 at 4 p.m. (CT) with the men's and women's high jumps. Friday's action concludes with the men's and women's 5000m at 8:25 p.m. (CT) and 8:50 p.m. (CT), respectively. The meet's second day begins Saturday, Jan. 30 at 11 a.m. (CT) and runs through 5 p.m. (CT).
Joining Memphis at the Vanderbilt Invitational are 19 other collegiate programs, including Georgia Tech, Michigan, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, N.C. State, Tennessee and host Vanderbilt.
After the semester break, the Tigers resumed their indoor season at the A-State Invitational Jan. 22-23. Despite the extended layoff, the Memphis squads posted 12 top-three finishes (7 women/5 men) in their first meet of 2016. Among those 12 top-three finishes were five first-place performances and a school record.
For the men, senior Corentin Louis (3000m) and freshman Jordan Wesner (high jump) both had first-place finishes. On the women's side, Carolina Carmichael (pole vault), Chardae Greenlee (triple jump) and Martina Rodriguez Sala (mile) all recorded first-place performances. In addition to her first-place finish in the mile, Rodriguez Sala set the school record in the 3000m (9:45.42).
At the Dec. 5 Commodore Indoor Opener, Memphis had nine top-three finishes.
