WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Following the Boilermakers success at the UTSA Invite, 13 members of the Purdue track & field team are slated to compete at the Bill Cornell Spring Classic on Saturday. The meet, hosted by Southern Illinois, will be held at the Lew Hartzog Track and Field Complex in Carbondale, Illinois.
Purdue is scheduled to compete in the 1500k, 3k steeplechase, and the 100, 200 and 800-meter run. Additionally, two Boilermakers will be running in the 400-meter hurdles.
Events are scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. ET with the 3k steeplechase and will continue in a rolling format.
The travel party will include five freshman, four sophomores and a pair of juniors and seniors each.

The Hershey, Pennsylvania, native checks in at No. 7 in the Purdue record books with a time of 10:26.97, which was set last May. Broschard is signed up for both the 1,500-meter run and the steeplechase.
