This weekend Kansas track and field will slice its squad into three teams to compete in meets all over the country. The Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., will host 26 Jayhawks while the KU throwers will be in the mountains of Colorado Springs, Colo. at the Air Force Invitational. The other members of the team will get a preview of the Big 12 Indoor championship site, Ames, Iowa, for the ISU Classic. Here’s a look at the three events:
