DETROIT (4/15/2026) -- A big two-day meet is on board for the Titans as the University of Detroit Mercy men's and women's track and field program will once again be in enemy territory when it competes in Oakland's Elaine Leigh Track & Field Invitational.

The meet will start on Friday at 1:30 p.m. with field events, but will also feature running events at 3:30 p.m. Saturday's action will begin at Noon.

The running events on Friday evening will be streamed on ESPN+, as will the ones on Saturday starting at 1:45 p.m.

Last year, UDM swept the 100 meters as James Wallace won it on the men's side, while Meghan Koss crossed the finish line first for the women. 

UDM is coming off some big performances last week as the men and women won 12 events at Central Michigan's Chippewa Challenge. Sophomore Audrey Williams had a big victory in the 200m for her first career win, while graduate senior Abby Winkle earned the 400m crown.

The freshmen jumping duo of Abigail Mullings and Nadia Hill claimed the triple jump and high jump, respectively, while sophomore Lyla Mullins was first in the discus and set the school's outdoor shotput mark for second. 

The men also saw junior Mike Ferguson win the 400m for his first individual gold. Freshman Isaiah Fox was first in the 100-meter hurdles, while another rookie threesome had wins with Joey DeCasas in the long jump, Nickolas Henson in the triple jump, and Deon Robertson in the high jump.

At Bucknell, senior Joshua Otten broke the school's 1,500m record with a time of 3:49.56, while freshman Colin Murray took down the Titan rookie record and the second-best 5,000m with a run of 14:20.28.
