This year the Pack will run in the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relays as well as individual sprinting, jumping and throwing events.

VertKlasse Meeting:
High Point's VertKlasse Meeting is modeled after the European version of track meets and will feature a small amount of high-level competitors, creating a fast-moving, exciting competition.

NC State is sending a small group of sprinters and hurdlers to compete. The group will aim to advance through the prelims and earn a spot in the marque final sections.

Stanford Invitational:
Most of the distance squad has the weekend off, but Luis Vargas, Meron Simon and Graham Crawford are heading to Palo Alto, Calif., for the highly-competitive Stanford Invitational. All three will run in 5,000m races. The meet has been a distance-dominated meet and gives its entries the chance to compete with the best distance runners in the country as well as a slew of professional athletes. Last year's meet landed 61 athletes on NCAA top-25 lists between 800m-10,000m events.
