Good morning, Shocker Nation! The Wichita State Track & Field team is having a busy weekend, with three separate events. The Shockers are hosting the Coach Wilson Invitational through tomorrow (Saturday, Feb. 1), in the Heskett Center. The meet honors longtime Track & Field coaches Herm Wilson and Pat Wilson.
 
The Shocker multi-eventers travel to K-State to compete in the DeLoss Dodds Invitational, and a distance group will head to Topeka for the Washburn Open.
 
Coach Wilson Invitational events begin at 11:00 a.m. CT today and 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.

👀 All eyes will be on Yared Kidane. Last time out, he broke the 600-meter school record and Prairie Wolf Invitational meet record before winning the 800 meters at the Mark Colligan Memorial with an AAC-leading time of 1:50.26.

Wichita State (11-10, 1-7) saw its losing streak stretch to four in a row, while dropping to 1-7 in American play for the second straight season.

🔼 Court is in Session. The Wichita State women's tennis team is gearing up for a road match against Kansas this morning at 11 a.m. CT. The squad is 1-3 on the year, with a win over Wyoming and losses to No. 16 Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Washington State.

🎾 : SCOUTING REPORTS

🔼 Down By a Dime. The Shockers saw one slip away late in the fourth quarter as East Carolina came back from down seven to claim a 72-62 victory Wednesday evening in Minges Coliseum.
 
Wichita State led for 25:36, but a 27-point fourth quarter for the Pirates propelled them past the Shockers.
 
Despite the tough loss, three Shockers finished in double figures with Jayla Murray scoring 19, Princess Anderson putting up 17, and Salese Blow finishing with 11.
