JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Head coach Norbert Elliott and 26 members of the Purdue track & field team are set to continue their postseason journey with the NCAA East Regional, hosted by the University of North Florida and the Jacksonville Sports Commission. The meet, which will run from Thursday, May 23 through Saturday, May 25, will feature the finest student-athletes from across the east region as they vie for a spot at the NCAA Championships.

For the second straight year, both the NCAA East and West preliminary championship events will be available to watch live on FloTrack.

The Purdue men qualified for 10 events at the Regional while the women earned six entries. A total of four events between the men and women will feature multiple Purdue student-athletes: the men's 100-meter dash, men's 5,000-meter run, men's triple jump and women's long jump.

Additionally, Purdue boasted 11 top 3 finishes at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships two weeks ago, including Tamar Greene, who was one of just two student-athletes across the conference to earn first-place in multiple events.
