DETROIT (5/10/23) -- The University of Detroit Mercy men's track and field team is not done yet this spring as they will attend the Oakland University Last Chance meet Thursday, May 11 from the Elaine Leigh Track and Field Complex.
"A good track and field season never ends and the last chance is a time honored tradition in track and field" Director of Track and Field and Cross Country
Guy Murray '89 said. "We have a few chasing the NCAA preliminary round, while a few are giving it one last go for a personal record. The weather forecast will be helpful for all efforts."
The meet will begin at 3:00 p.m. eastern with Hammer Throw, High Jump, Long Jump, and Pole Vault. The running events begin at 4:00 p.m. with the 4x100 Relay followed by the 400-Hurdles.
