She will compete in the discus, an event in which she is the Grenada national record holder, on Saturday.
Her teammate Juliet Smith is coming off a strong showing in the throws, earning silver in the weight throw and placing seventh in the shot put. She is scheduled to compete in both the hammer throw and shot put on Friday.
Cassandra Lemus-Sodji enters the meet fresh off a BIG EAST title in the long jump, where she posted a personal-best mark of 6.22 meters. The senior will compete in the event on Friday and double back on Saturday in the 100-meter dash.
Also in the jumps, Fia Viklund is set to compete in the triple jump after earning a silver medal at the BIG EAST Championships with a personal-best leap of 12.63 meters.
Naiara Garcia-Moreno headlines the middle-distance group after setting a program record in the 800 meters with a time of 2 minutes, 2.94 seconds at the conference meet. She is scheduled to race in the 800 meters on Friday and the 1,500 meters on Saturday.
Nora Haugen, who posted an indoor personal-best of 2:03.53 in the 800 meters, will join Garcia Moreno in Friday's half mile. The Norwegian will also compete in the 400 meters on Saturday.
Rounding out the track events is Nyla Henderson, who will look to build on her third-place finish in the 400 meters at the conference championship with a time of 55.07 seconds. She will compete in both the 200 meters on Friday and the 400 meters on Saturday.
