Coming off a successful Meyo Invitational a week ago, the Butler track and field team will send athletes to the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa and the Music City Challenge in Nashville, Tenn.

Each meet will take place over two days starting on Friday, Feb. 14 and concluding on Saturday, Feb. 15.

In Ames, Iowa

Butler will send an impressive group of distance runners to the Iowa State Classic.

BIG EAST men's 5,000-meter leader Barry Keane will run the invite section of the event in Ames this weekend. His conference-leading time of 13:58.64 is also the fifteenth best time in the country.

Simon Bedard and Jackson Martin will run in the regular sections of the men's 5,000-meters. Bedard currently has the second-fastest 5,000-meter time in the BIG EAST at 14:18.42, only behind Keane.

After an impressive personal best finish of 4:05.58 in the prestigious Meyo Mile last weekend, Euan Makepeace will compete in the 3,000-meter invite.

Clark Otte, who is coming off last weekend's personal-best 3,000-meter time of 8:19.38, will run the 3,000-meters again this weekend.

Angelina Ellis and Emily Royston will run in the women's 3,000-meter invite. Both Bulldog women have top-ten BIG EAST times this season, with Ellis' time of 9:42.82 sixth and Royston's time of 9:45.92 eighth.

Sophomore Mia Beckham will run the women's 5,000-meters for the first time this season.

In Nashville, Tenn. 

At the Music City Challenge, multi-event athlete Wade Walder will make his indoor season debut as he competes in the pole vault and the 60- and 400-meters. Last indoor season Walder was a BIG EAST Indoor Champion with a score of 5,470 in the heptathlon.

Jacob Uhl will also compete for the men in Nashville as he runs the 200- and 400-meters. Uhl currently holds the fourth-fastest 400-meter time in the BIG EAST at 48.42.

Sam Robinson will compete in both the men's high and long jumps. Robinson has a top-ten BIG EAST mark in both events this season, with his long jump mark of 7.08m fourth overall.

On the women's side of the meet, Lily Hess will run three events in which she has a top-ten mark in the BIG EAST, the 60-, 200-, and 400-meters. Her 200-meter time of 24.82 is the fifth-best time in the conference.

Camille Hines will run the women's mile. Last weekend she ran a personal best mile time of 4:49.99, good for the second-fastest time in the BIG EAST this season.

Madi Provo and Josephine Thestrup will join Hines in the 800-meters.

Niki Ezeh will run the 200-meter dash, the 60-meter hurdles, and compete in the pole vault. Her season-best time of 8.61 in the 60-meter hurdles is the fourth-best time in the conference.

Nina Hilt and Karmen Koch will each run the 60-meter hurdles and compete in the high jump. They are currently tied for the fourth-best high jump mark in the BIG EAST at 1.60m.
