ATLANTA – The Georgia Tech men’s and women’s track and field teams will return to action this Friday-Saturday, Jan. 13-14, at the Kentucky Invitational, in Lexington, Ky. The indoor track meet will get underway at 6 p.m. on Friday night.

“The Kentucky Invitational is a great meet to start off the spring semester,” said women’s head coach Alan Drosky. “The facility is first-class and the competition will be very good. Coming off the Christmas break, the women appear fit and ready to go and we expect some outstanding performances.”
