CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Nine Miami Track and Field seniors will be honored at this weekend’s Hurricane Alumni Invitational as the Canes host their final home meet of the 2019 outdoor season.
The two-day meet will feature the No. 10 Miami women against ACC foes North Carolina and Syracuse along with LSU’s No. 6 men’s program and No. 5 women’s team, plus many more.
Both Michelle Atherley and Andreas Christodoulou will compete in their first heptathlon and decathlon respective events of the outdoor season beginning on Friday. Atherley currently holds Miami’s program record in the heptathlon with 5,816 points, a mark she set last season at the Bryan Clay Invitational.
