"The Mt. SAC Relays and the Bryan Clay Invitational is phase two for our team during championship season," said the Director of Track & Field/Cross Country Fred Harvey. "The Jim Click Shootout was our first step towards team championship level competition, and now with these two competitions, every event area will be challenged by some of the best athletes in the world. We have to know the feeling of pressure, learn how to deal with it, and succeed. This weekend will prepare us for the pressure of being in the top five or winning the Big 12 Championships."
