TUCSON - The University of Arizona Wildcats No. 13 men's and No. 12 women's track and field teams will trek to Fayetteville, Ark. for the Razorback Invitational. The University of Arkansas' Randal Tyson Track Center will play host to arguably the biggest regular season indoor meet of the year for Arizona. The heptathlon will begin on Friday at 1:15 p.m. CST. The field events are set to start at 4 p.m. and the running events will begin at 6 p.m. On Saturday, the heptathlon begins at 12 p.m. The field events will commence at 11 a.m. and the running events 12:15 p.m. The meet is being scored in the standard 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 format.

Arizona will compete against Arkansas (M: 1, W: 5), Baylor (M: NR, W: 17), Florida (M: 3, W: 7), Florida State (M: 21, W: NR), Georgia (M: NR, W: 16), Nebraska (M: NR, W: 23), Oklahoma (M: NR, W: NR), Oklahoma State (M: NR, W: NR) and Texas (M: 11, W: 13) this weekend.

"I would say this is the most elite competition we will face outside of the MPSF and NCAA Championships," head coach Fred Harvey said. "On both sides we have a tremendous team this year and I feel strongly that if you don't compete against the best, it is tough to measure yourself and see where you're at. We're going to have our hands full in all areas we expect to be successful in."
