OREM, Utah - The Utah Valley track season will get underway this weekend as the Wolverines will open their Indoor Track Season slate at the BYU Invitational in Provo.
UV will compete against athletes from local schools BYU, Utah and Weber State in the two-day event that will feature mostly field events on Friday and track events on Saturday.
"There is always a good level of competition at this meet," Utah Valley head track coach Scott Houle said. "We always look forward to the first meet of the year to see where we are and where we need to improve. Hopefully we will see improvement from our returners."
Among Utah Valley returners are multiple record holder Mariama Salifu, who owns several of the Wolverines indoor and outdoor school records.
Both the UV men and women distance runners will look to carry over their momentum after a strong cross country season.
