SMU Track & Field travels to Fort Worth for the second outdoor meet of the season, the TCU Invitational. The meet is scheduled for Saturday at the Lowdon Track & Field Complex.
 
The one-day meet begins with the first Mustang event, the high jump, at 11 a.m. and wraps up with the 4x400 at 5 p.m. Along with the Mustangs and hosts TCU,  also slated to compete are Arkansas State, North Texas, Northwestern State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and UT-Arlington.
 
The Mustangs opened the season on March 6 at the Longhorn Invite setting six program top-10 marks and eight personal bests. It was the Mustangs first Outdoor meet since the 2019 NCAA Championships almost two years ago.

Chika Iwuamadi holds the programs best ever 400m time of 52.70. Tess Misgen set a top-10 in the 800m back in 2018. Ashton Woods used a 400m time 1:00.02 to qualify for the 2019 Regionals, the second best career SMU time. Cassie Ackemann's top high jump of 1.73 ties for ninth. Atipa Mabonga has the program's sixth best triple jump while Olivia Witt set a top-10 Heptathlon at the 2019 AAC Championships.
