It is UT's final regular-season meet before the SEC outdoor championships.
"This meet features a compact schedule," head coach Bill Webb said. "It is a home meet nine days before the conference meet so it is a chance for people to have a final tune-up before the SEC outdoor championships. It is probably going to be the first good weather day of the season and we are looking forward to that. There are different guys that have different needs during this meet. We have people chasing marks for regionals as well as the U.S. Juniors."
