HUNTSVILLE, Ala. –
After one of the most successful outings in program history last weekend, the University of Alabama in Huntsville men's and women's track and field teams head to Birmingham, Ala., for the second time this season when they compete in the Vulcan Invitational, Feb. 10-11, at the Birmingham CrossPlex. The meet is being hosted by UAB, Birmingham-Southern and Samford.
 
Action, both in the field and on the oval, will get underway on Friday, Feb. 10, at 4 p.m. CST with the women's shot put and women's mile. On Saturday, the meet will commence at 9 a.m. CST with the men's and women's weight throw while running events are slated to begin at noon with the women's 400 meters. The meet will conclude after the men's 4x400 meter relay which is slated for a 7 p.m. start.
 
Notable teams participating in the competition are Georgia Tech, Auburn, Southern Mississippi, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.

In addition, the Lady Chargers have four women who rank in the nation's top 30 in three events, led by junior Kedeshia Simpson and senior Latrice Johnson who rank seventh and 10th in the 60 meters, respectively.
 
On the men's side, junior Luke Beck ranks 16th in the nation in the pole vault and senior Josh Moshier sits at No. 21 in the 5,000 meters. The 4x400 meter relay squad of sophomore Dezmen Cage, senior Jaion Rayford and freshmen Brennan Parks and Stephon Hampton hold the 15th-fastest time in the country.
 
After this weekend, UAH will have one final tune-up at the Sewanee Invitational in Sewanee, Tenn., on Feb. 26 before prepping its qualifiers for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships set for March 12-13 in Mankato, Minn.
