Cobb Track and Angel Field will be home to the 34th annual Stanford Invitational today and tomorrow. The Stanford Invitational is one of the biggest and most highly-anticipated track meets on the West Coast, featuring some of the best collegiate and high school athletes from around the nation.

Last year, 316 athletes achieved regional qualifying marks at the meet, 15 of those being Stanford athletes. Graeme Hoste was the only event winner for the Cardinal, capturing the title in the pole vault with a vault of 16-9. The Stanford track and field program enters the meet ranked nationally by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The women are ranked tenth, while the men stand at No. 22.

But first, the athletes that compete in the heptathlon (for women) and decathlon (for men) are currently in Berkeley to compete in the Cal Multi Event meet.

After the first day of competition, Stanford’s Whitney Liehr stands in second place for the women’s heptathlon, while teammate Kara Bennett is currently in fourth place. For the men, freshman Corey Dysick stands in fifth place.

Liehr, Bennett and Dysick will continue their competitions tomorrow.
