The final indoor home meet will start and conclude on Friday at the University Fieldhouse.
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Golden Gopher track and field program is set to host its final indoor regular season meet on Friday, Feb. 21, with the Snowshoe Open. The one-day track meet will be contested at the University Fieldhosue and is free to the public to attend.
ABOUT THE SNOWSHOE OPEN
The final indoor regular season home meet will begin at 2 p.m. on Friday morning with the men's shot put. The final competition of the day will be contested at about 7:45 p.m. CT with the 4x400m relays. The meet is not televised or streamed, but fans can follow live results via WayzataTiming.com.
LAST TIME OUT
The University of Minnesota track and field team posted five different program top 10 performances at the Windy City Classic at Gately Stadium in Chicago from Feb. 14-15. Erin Reidy was arguably the highlight of the weekend for the Maroon and Gold with the graduate posting a lifetime best 4:36.99 to win the women's mile on Friday. The time for the Illinois native goes down as the No. 2 in school history and shaved over five seconds off her previous best time in the indoor mile. The time of 4:36.99 for Reidy is the fastest time at Minnesota in three years (Abby Kohut-Jackson, 2022 - 4:35.36).
Earlier on Friday the Golden Gophers saw a breakthrough performance from Kitania Headley in the 600m. The true freshman put forth a time of 1:31.21 to win the event in Chicago, and put herself at the No. 8 spot in Minnesota history. On Saturday Brooke Moore was the first to break through for a program top 10 performance. In the triple jump Moore pulled off the win in dramatic fashion with a mark of 12.96m (42-6 1/4) on her final attempt of the competition to win the event by one centimeter over teammate Diarra Sow (12.95m | 42-6) who jumped unattached.

THRICE AS NICE! NABWE HONORED, AGAIN
For a Big Ten leading third time this season University of Minnesota women's track and field redshirt sophomore Anthonett Nabwe was named the Big Ten's Field Athlete of the Week, the conference office announced on Feb. 12. Nabwe is the only female student-athlete to have earned a weekly distinction from the conference three different times this indoor season.
The Jamestown, N.D., native is the only Big Ten thrower to be ranked inside the top 10 in both the shot put and weight throw this season. In the weight throw, Nabwe has been perfect this year with six consecutive event wins and has a streak of seven straight regular season wins in the event going back to last season.
