WACO, Texas – The Baylor track & field team is headed to the Rod McCravy Memorial Meet, which will be held Friday and Saturday at the University of Kentucky’s Nutter Field House in Lexington.



Baylor enters the meet for the first time after the initial round of USTFCCCA rankings were announced, with the women’s squad at No. 15, and the men just outside the top-25 in No. 30.



The Bears bring in top-25 athletes Tuesdi Tidwell, Ackera Nugent, Kennedy Bailey, Alex Madlock and Caira Pettway on the women’s side. Tidwell finished first in both meets this season and is set to up the bar.



On the men’s side, top-25 ranked Matthew Moorer, Trey Fields and Johnny Brackins are ready for competition, with Moorer eager to win his third-straight gold in the 200-meters.



Brackins and Nugent were announced Big 12 Athletes of the Week on Wednesday. Nugent looks to top her most recent 60-meter hurdle 7.9-second personal-best, which is good for No. 2 in the nation. Brackins is ready to defend his recent victories in triple and long jump, in only his second and third collegiate competitions, respectively.



The meet results will be available online<https://pttiming.com/event.php?mid=594>, and Saturday’s competition will be streamed on SEC Network Plus<https://www.espn.com/watch/catalog/19644d95-cc83-38ed-bdf9-50b9f2e9ebfc#bucketId=29789>.
