LAST TIME OUT: OUTDOOR SEASON OPENER
Purdue began the outdoor season with seven victories and seven top-10 marks in school history last weekend. The Boilermakers added 11 second-place finishes and four third-place showings and totaled 14 personal-best marks at the Hurricane Invitational from March 18-19 and the Blizzard Buster on March 18. The Hurricane Invite capped a week-long spring break training trip in Miami.
 
Five of Purdue's seven top-10 marks came with a win or a runner-up finish. Senior Kelly Cook Jr. and sophomore Saran Kouyeth earned victories as they put their names in the record books, while sophomores Kerris Roberts and Safin Wills and freshman Rieko Wilford finished in second place in their events with the top-10 marks.
