The men’s and women’s track and field teams will continue their seasons at the NB Balance Collegiate Invitational in New York City on Friday and Saturday.

Coming off an impressive weekend at Penn State, in which several athletes achieved personal records, the Owls will look to fine-tune their techniques and maintain their focus in New York, the last meet before the Atlantic Ten Conference Championships, which kick off on February 16.

On Friday, the Owls kick off competition with standout sophomore thrower Margo Briton, participating in the shot put at 9:30 a.m. Briton is one of eleven Temple athletes who will partake in events Friday. Six of them are running the 400m dash, including junior sprinting star Ambrosia Iwugo on the women’s side at 11:50 a.m. and senior sprinter Damian Myers on the men’s side at 12:35 p.m. The Owls’ final event will occur at 12:50 p.m. as sophomore jumper Darryl McDuffie competes in the high jump.

Briton opens up for Temple again on Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. with the weight throw, while the men’s 4x400m relay will be the closing act at 3:52 p.m. The four relayers are still relatively unaccustomed to running together, so this race will be critical in acting as a final test before the A-10 Championships.
