2011 Scarlet & Gray Flier

The UNLV track & field team will host its Scarlet & Gray Challenge at Myron Partridge Stadium and Sheila Tarr-Smith Field on Friday, Dec. 9. Last year's edition witnessed the Scarlet edge the Gray by three points, 46-43.

The Challenge will consist of 12 events with six taking place on the track and six in the field. The first running event will be the 60m hurdles at 10:00 am, while the weight throw kicks off the field competition 10 minutes later at 10:10 am.

The one-day event will be a tune-up for the 2012 indoor season that begins on Jan. 27-28 with the Rebels participating in two different meets simultaneously. The squad will split in two with the distance runners heading to Seattle for the Washington Invitational. The remainder of the team will head to Flagstaff, Ariz., for the Mountain T's Invitational at Northern Arizona University.
