MONTEVALLO, Ala. – For the third consecutive week, the University of West Alabama Track and Field team is preparing for competition as the squad is set to head to the Montevallo Falcon Classic hosted by the University of Montevallo at the Track and Field/Lacrosse Stadium.

The two-day event starts Friday, March 19 at 12 p.m. with the hammer throw and pole vault events with the first track event coming at 5 p.m. as the women's 10,000-meter starts.

The team of Zavannah Brown, Savannah Williams, Jailah Swain and Alexis Sturdivant combined to earn second place in the women's 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:59.87 and just slightly less than a second behind the winning team from Southeast Missouri who won in 3:58.04.
