Ole Miss Tracks Heads to SEC Indoor Championships

 OXFORD, Miss. The Ole Miss men’s and women’s track and field teams travel to Lexington, Ky. for the SEC Indoor Championships beginning on Friday.

“We are very excited for the SEC meet this weekend,” said Ole Miss head coach Joe Walker. “We feel like we have had good indoor season. We are pretty healthily and confident that we do some good thing in Kentucky.”

The University of Kentucky is hosting the three-day event that features some of the best track and field athletes in the country. Events will take place at the Nutter Field House on the Lexington campus.

The Ole Miss men will be lead by All-American John Yarbrough. Yarbrough, who earned All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Championships last season, is ranked fifth in the nation this year in the 60-meter hurdles.

The Rebel women will be lead by junior Kenyata Coleman. Coleman, the school record holder in the 400 meters, finished seventh in the 400 meters at last year’s SEC Indoor Championships.

The meet begins on Friday with the men’s heptathlon and women’s pentathlon. Field and running events begin on Saturday and conclude on Sunday.
