The men will see senior Andrew Kent race for the first time this season in the men’s mile, along with a swarm of five other Tech distance runners. Sophomore Dylan Jean-Baptiste, true freshmen Cameron O’Neal and John Watkins will each get to display their versatility as they are all listed to compete in a slew of jumping and sprints events.
