ITHACA, N.Y. — After a record-breaking indoor season, the Cornell Big Red men's and women's track and field teams will open their outdoor campaigns this weekend at the UCF Knights Invite in Orlando, Florida.

The two-day meet, scheduled for March 27–28, marks Cornell's first outdoor competition of the season and its first time back in action since a winter defined by program history on both sides.

Cornell will send a group of sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers and throwers to Orlando, while its distance squad remains in Ithaca to continue training.
