The track and field team opened its outdoor season by hosting the Wes Kittley Invitational at Elmer Gray Stadium on Friday and Saturday. The Wildcats earned four event wins and recorded several top performances across running, jumping and throwing events. The meet also served as the team’s first opportunity to compare results with other Western Athletic Conference programs.
