Track and Field Readies for Gamecock Inaugural

ANDERSON, S.C. – The Anderson University men's and women's track and field teams will be in action for the first time in the New Year, with the Trojans slated to compete at South Carolina's Gamecock Inaugural on Friday and Saturday.

The two-day event marks the Gamecock's first home indoor track & field meet since the 2016 season and the first-ever collegiate event at the new Carolina Indoor Track & Field Complex.

Events begin at 9 a.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. on Saturday. Admission to the Gamecock Inaugural is $5 for adults and $3 for children 17 and under.

In the last outing for the Trojans, senior JoLyn Copeland posted a career-best toss of 15.15 meters in the weight throw and finished ninth at the Clemson Opener in early December. The Swansea, S.C., native went on to earn South Atlantic Conference Women's Indoor Field Athlete of the Week.
