The first day will start with the throwing events as

The 60-meter and 200-meter preliminaries will also take place on Friday and there are 15 combined entries between both the men and the women. Yoran Kabala-Kabengle made the finals of the 60-meter at the Jaguar Invitational.
Mason Appleton will close out the first day with his run in the men's 5000-meter. Appleton has not run the 5K yet this indoor season. He participated in the 3K at the Jaguar Invitational and finished third in the event.
Jose Rodriguez, who comes off a school record in the 800-meter will run the same event on the second day of competition. Rodriguez clocked a 1:50.51 which is the second fastest time in the Southland this season entering the weekend.
