Maroon and White Tune Up
Bulldogs Set To Close Out Regular Season At Home
April 30, 2025 | Track & Field
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State track and field will conclude the regular season on home turf, competing in the Maroon and White Tune Up.
"We don't have many chances to compete in front of the home crowd, so we cherish any time we get to do so," said head coach Chris Woods. "This weekend is going to be a great opportunity for the athletes to have one more competition before the conference championship, as well as celebrate our graduating seniors."
Thursday will be a shortened day, with only three events being contested. The day will begin with the hammer, followed by the discus throw, and will close with the 5000m. Marie Rougetet, program and freshman hammer record holder, will headline the women's hammer. Caleb Kaplan will look to improve on his No. 4 MSU all-time mark in the men's hammer tomorrow afternoon.
The women's discus will follow shortly after, with the women competing first. Jewel Giles, who leads the squad in the event, will look to improve on her personal best, which is just centimeters off the MSU all-time list. The men's discus will have a small field, highlighted by decathlete Peyton Bair.
The women's 5000m will be the sole running event on Thursday, with five Bulldogs set to compete.
Friday will hold the bulk of both track and field events, as well as the senior celebration and the Greek Invite 4x100m relay.
