[OUBeliever56A]

The Oklahoma Men's and Women's Track and Field teams will be competing at the Texas A&M Opener in College Station, Texas. The Sooners did well at home in the J.D. Martin Invitational in December. Competing in the Texas A&M Opener will be a bit tougher for the Oklahoma athletes.

When I see something posted about the meet, I will post it.

Good luck to the Sooner athletes in College Station.
