LOGAN, Utah — Utah State track & field teams are set to compete at the BYU-hosted Robison Invitational this weekend in Provo, Utah.
 
Competition at the Robison Invitational began with the men's decathlon and women's heptathlon on Wednesday. The multi events will continue through Thursday. Junior Caden Dupee is the lone Aggie representing USU in either event.
 
The remainder of competition will begin Friday with the men's hammer throw at 11 a.m. (MT) followed by the women's hammer throw. The four-day meet will conclude on Saturday with the men's and women's 4x400-meter relays at approximately 4 p.m. (MT).
 
Live results will be provided throughout the event. A full schedule and list of participants can be found via BYU athletics.
 
Last weekend, Utah State competed at a trio of California competitions last week in the Azusa Pacific Invitational, the Long Beach State Invitational and the Mt. SAC Relays.
 
Senior Katie Haviland was responsible for USU's high mark of the week, winning the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Mt. SAC Relays with a time of 10:12.29 to set a personal best, which is also the second-fastest time in the Mountain West and 22nd-fastest in the nation this season. Junior Abby Jensen followed close behind Haviland in the steeplechase with a 12th-place finish out of 77 total runners in the event. Jensen's time of 10:25.69 moves her to sixth all-time in school history.
 
At the Azusa Pacific Invitational, senior Mica Rivera led the way with a third-place finish in the 5,000 meters with a time of 16:19.61. Rivera's time, which ranks sixth in the MW this season, moves her to third all-time in the event in USU history. In the men's invitational finals of the 1,500 meters, sophomore Brennan Benson set the sixth-fastest time in school history at 3:44.96 to finish 84th out of 149 participants.
 
The Aggies' efforts at the Long Beach State Invitational were highlighted by seniors Maia Garren and Anna Parkinson. In the shot put, Garren improved upon her personal best with a throw of 16.48 meters (54-1.00), placing second in the event. That mark ranks third all-time in school history. In the women's pole vault, Parkinson vaulted herself into the top 10 all-time at USU, clearing a height of 3.76 meters (12-4.00) to place second.
