Men's Track & Field Gears Up for Vanderbilt Invitational

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Belmont University Men's Track & Field team returns to Vanderbilt for the Vanderbilt Invitational on Friday and Saturday.
 
Both days of the meet will be streamed on SEC Network+.

The Bruin men performed well at Vanderbilt's Commodore Winter Challenge in December. Senior Vince Flegeance set a new program record in the 60m hurdles with a time of 7.96 seconds, edging out Caleb Corprew's seven-year record set at the 2018 OVC Indoor Championships. The time earned him a spot in the finals, where he finished 5th.
 
Freshman Gabe Heck made his debut by placing 13th in the pole vault. Other top-15 finishes include Drew Brill, who placed sixth 5,000m, as well as Lleyton Penn and Garrett Connor, placing 10th and 13th respectively in the shot put.
 
The Bruins will kick off the Vanderbilt Invitational with the heptathlon, starting at 9:00 a.m.
 
The heptathlon will be followed by a series of field events: the pole vault, high jump, weight throw, and long jump. The day finishes with the 1,000m, 5,000m, 200m, and distance medley relay.
 
Saturday features the heptathlon, high jump, and shot put, before heading into the 60m hurdles, 60m, the mile, 400m, 800m, 3,000m and the 4x400m relay.
