GREELEY, Colo. — Northern Colorado track & field returns to high-level competition this weekend at the Don Kirby Elite, hosted inside the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, N.M., Feb. 13-14. The two-day meet consistently draws top collegiate and professional talent, providing the Bears another opportunity to post qualifying marks and continue their climb in the program record books.

On the men's side, Daniel Beckford headlines the group in the 60-meter hurdles, where he has already established himself among the top performers in program history. Raphael Egbuchilem is set to compete in the 400 meters, looking to capitalize on the fast Albuquerque surface, while Tyler Rogers enters the high jump as UNC continues to build depth in the vertical events.

The women's squad features a strong hurdles and jumps presence. Alexia Austin and Donice Bruno-Ezealah will represent Northern Colorado in the 60-meter hurdles, with prelims and finals slated for Saturday.

Camaria Corder returns to the triple jump runway after resetting her own school record in recent weeks, while Kiana Van Haaren will compete in the long jump. Monique Stewart rounds out the entries in the 800 meters, continuing a steady indoor campaign in the middle-distance events.
