CHICAGO -- The 2013-14 track and field season moves forward on Friday afternoon for DePaul as the Blue Demons travel to Bloomington, Ind., for the Indiana University Relays.
The two-day event begins tomorrow (Jan. 31) at 3 p.m. EST.
The relays will be the first two-day and fifth overall competition for DePaul. Athletes representing over 20 schools will be participating.
The Blue Demons are coming off a good performance at the Wisconsin Elite Invitational on Jan. 25, which saw 12 DePaul individuals and relay teams place in the top-five of an event. Sophomore Tayler Whittler broke the DePaul 60-meter record for the third time this season, posting a time of 7.59 seconds last week.
Whittler and fellow Blue Demons Julie Dambra, Ayesha Ewing and Erin McCoy also took second in the women's 4x400-meter relay, while the men's 4x4 team of Tonderai Tomu, Brandon Threats, Xavier Jones and Mac Melto also placed second for DePaul.
The Indiana Relays mark the second-to-last event before the BIG EAST Indoor Championships on Feb. 21-22. Next week, DePaul competes at the Meyo Invitational in Notre Dame, Ind.
Live stats and a full schedule of events and heet sheets are available at the top of the page. Full recaps will be posted to DePaulBlueDemons.com at the conclusion of competition on Friday and Saturday.
