TEMPE, Ariz. -- With the indoor season ramping up, the Arizona State track and field program is taking just a handful of athletes to the Mountain T's Invitational in Flagstaff, Ariz.
Head coach Greg Kraft calls it an off-week for most of his athletes, while several will use it as another opportunity to earn qualifying marks.
"Some of our kids who haven't gotten a chance to compete are competing," Kraft said. "I think it's just to get another rep in there and some people who are just in their off event."
Junior Keyasia Tibbs has already set her personal best two weeks ago in the triple jump, but she will use the weekend to record a time in the 60-meter dash.
"We want to see what she can do and see if she's an option for us in the 4x100 outdoors," Kraft said.
Her teammate and junior sprinter LaTroya Franklin will compete in her first 400-meter run of the season as well.
On the men's side, redshirt junior Tim White has excelled each of the last two week's in the triple jump, earning the fifth-best mark in ASU history at 15.90m (52-02.00). He'll compete in just the high jump this week -- one he hasn't attempted this season thus far.
White will compete alongside freshman Mason Ford and Reed Bussey, who aim to improve on previous marks.
The pole vaulters alone compile nearly half of the Sun Devil competitors with five women and four men making the trip.
Sophomores Haleigh Fritts, Kristiana Warth and Athena Masolini along with freshman Vanessa Davis will vault in their third-straight match, while freshman Jenna Fitzgerald heads into her second.
"It's just an opportunity to jump at bars," Kraft said. "With so many pole vaulters, it's difficult to go to competitions and be selective about who you want to travel, so it's one of those events it makes it a little easier to do."
The meet starts on Saturday, Jan. 30 at 11 a.m. PT and continues through 2 p.m. MT.
