ABILENE – Abilene Christian looks to build on its strong start from last week's Red Raider Open when they take the track and jumping pits at the Wendy's Pittsburg State Invitational on Saturday.

Forty-one Wildcats (21 men, 20 women) compete in 13 women's and 11 men's events in Kansas, including Ja'Dasia Sims in the long jump invitational.

Jack Marshall, fresh from being named WAC Men's Track Athlete of the Week, runs in the 60 meters and 4x400 relay. Payton Kirk and Paige Boucher, who put their names in the ACU top 10 in the 60M hurdles, are both in that event again this week.
