LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center is scheduled to host a prolific indoor track meet this weekend.
The 30th annual Rod McCravy Memorial Invitational, an NCAA indoor track and field meet, will be held from Jan. 10-11 in Louisville's west end. According to a news release, the Rod McCravy Memorial Invitational has grown into a premier track meet.
"One of the best decisions we have made over the past few years was to move the Rod McCravy Memorial Invitational to Louisville, Rod’s hometown," University of Kentucky head coach Lonnie Greene said in a news release. "Doing this has given us the opportunity to bring regional and national track and field talent to the city as we compete in remembrance of all Rod embodied as a student-athlete and as a human being."
The track and field meet relocated to the Russell neighborhood in 2024.
This year's invitational includes teams like Kentucky, Louisville, Akron, Alabama State, Bellarmine, Butler, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Clayton State, Cumberlands, Georgia Southern, Howard, Louisiana Tech, Purdue, Miami (OH), Ohio State, Ole Miss and Western Kentucky.
Admission is free and parking costs $5 per car.
