The Milwaukee men's and women's track and field teams are preparing for the next stage of their outdoor season at the Golden Grizzlies Invitational in Rochester, Michigan. The event will commence at 11 AM with the hammer throw and is expected to conclude around 6:25 PM following the men's 4x400m relay.

In their previous outings, the Panthers participated in three separate meets. At the Warrior Invitational, Jack Misky stood out by winning the javelin throw with a distance of 42.48 meters. Madison Hughes and Ari Miller also performed well, finishing fourth in their respective events.

During the Raleigh Relays, Natalie Block made headlines by setting a new program record in the 100m hurdles with a time of 13.29 seconds, placing her third in that event. Anthony Campbell also excelled, securing second place in the long jump with a distance of 7.40 meters.

The Redbird Challenge saw nine Panthers reaching podium positions. Bryan McLaughlin won the high jump while Tony Bretall took first place in the javelin throw. McLaughlin's performance placed him ninth on Milwaukee's all-time list, and Bretall reached sixth on the program list.

Both Natalie Block and Anthony Campbell received Horizon League Athlete of the Week honors for their achievements. Block was named Outdoor Women's Runner of the Week, while Campbell earned Outdoor Men's Field Athlete of the Week recognition.

Looking ahead, after competing at this weekend's Golden Grizzlies Invitational, Milwaukee will participate in two more events next week: The Bryan Clay Invitational hosted by Azusa Pacific University from April 11-13 and The Gary Wieneke Memorial hosted by University of Illinois on April 13.
