ROLLA, Mo. – With just three weeks remaining before the Great Lakes Valley Conference Outdoor Championships, Missouri S&T's track & field teams will host its second home meet of the season when the Dewey Allgood Invitational takes place Saturday at Allgood-Bailey Stadium.

Saturday's competition will get underway at 11 a.m. with the men's hammer throw, men's javelin and men's long jump.  The track events, starting with the 3,000-meter steeplechase, will start at noon.

The Miners have five members of their men's team and one from the women's side that have reached NCAA Division II provisional qualifying marks during the outdoor season.  Among the men, Nathan Swadley (Willard, MO/Willard) has reached provisional marks in two events, where he currently ranks 16^th in the shot put and 21^st in the hammer throw.

The other four Miners that have reached provisional marks are Joseph Nickell (Nixa, MO/Nixa), who is ranked 14^th nationally in the pole vault; Mitch Fairless (St. Charles, MO/Duchesne), who is ranked 15^th in the high jump, Jarett Johnson (Webb City, MO/Webb City), the 25^th-ranked competitor in the javelin throw and Jacob Luebbert (Warsaw, MO/Warsaw), who is 27^th in the hammer throw.

Annmarie Tyson (St. Louis, MO/St. Joseph's Academy) is the only member of the women's team to reach a provisional mark, which she did last weekend in winning the high jump at the Blue Tiger Invitational.  Her mark, that helped her earn the GLVC's Field Athlete of the Week award, is tied for the 11^th-best in the nation in Division II.

Admission to Saturday's meet will be free of charge.
