Helmer’s squad to face competition apart

The IU track and field team is looking to recuperate from its performances at the Meyo Invitational as it is the host of the two-day Hoosier Hills meet today.

This will be the second straight week in which the Hoosiers will have to split up and face competition separately, as part of the team is already participating in the annual Tyson Invitational in Arkansas.

Coach Ron Helmer is looking to see some consistency in his team’s performances that will contingently carry over to the Big Ten Championship as well as to Nationals.

“Our goal every season is to contend for a Big Ten Championship and a team trophy at the NCAA Championships,” Helmer said.
