SPOKANE, Wash. -- Following another strong performance last weekend in Seattle, the USF Dons indoor track and field team is back to work this weekend in the Pacific Northwest as they will be competing in the 2023 MPSF Championships this Friday and Saturday from The Podium.

The Dons return to competing in Spokane where they scored 5th as a team last year with 47 points on the board last season with event victories in both the 3,000 meter run and the distance medley relay.

On the sprints side, Olivia Alexandre will look to post another seasons best in the 400m after executing a strong performance of 57.65 last week at the Husky Invitational. Rayne Anwar will be an exciting name to watch over the weekend as she enters the championship as a returning scorer for the Dons as she qualified for the 60m final last year—Rayne was also the first ever sprinter from USF to score points at this championship. This weekend will also see the debut of our 4x400m relay team, which will be great experience for the team to take into the upcoming outdoor season.

While on the distance side, newcomer Hannah Anderson looks to continue her streak of excellent racing and should lead the way in the 3,000 meters. The mile will have strong representation with five Dons lining up for the eight laps, with Julia Morales and Kamilla Vanadzina tackling the 800 meter run. Lastly, the distance medley relay team will look to defend the title they won last year, where they also broke the school record in a time of 11:15.30. Friday and Saturday could turn out to be most of the Dons' student-athletes final race of indoor season as they look to close out their season on a high note.
