HOUGHTON, Mich. – Coming out of the GLIAC Championship week, the Michigan Tech track & field squad will compete in its final regular season meet, traveling to the St. Francis Fighting Chance Invite on May 8-9 in Joliet, Illinois. 

A live stream and live results of the meet are available at Michigantechhuskies.com/live. 

The Huskies will bring a near full team to the meet to chase personal-bests in the regular season finale. 

The Black & Gold will have a men's 4x800m relay with 17 entries in the 5,000m, 18 in the 1,500m and 10 in the 800m.

Claire Endres will look to lower her personal-best and school record time in the 3,000m steeplechase as three Huskies entered in the men's 5,000m will look to break 15 minutes for the first time in their careers. 

Luke Pravecek (15:00.97), Austin Smelker (15:02.56), Derin Apul (15:02.57) will look to join Colman Lenci and Michael Dennis as sub 15 minute performers over 5,000m this season.
