This year’s varsity Track and Field meet at Rice University is a three day meet.

At this meet varsity high schools and universities will be running. Different college scouts will be watching the varsity runners.

“The seniors need the scouts to notice them so they can get scholarships and other types of things to help them get into colleges,” Varsity runner Liliana Munoz said.

This is a crucial event for all varsity runners seeking to run at a college level with a different environment. Field runners will be running against the clock.

“this meet is important because Rice is the host and when a meet is held at a university, that’s where most runners get noticed and different colleges want them to attend their university since most varsity runners are seniors,” Munoz said.

Varsity runners believe their practice will pay off since there will be a lot of different opportunities for all the runners, not just seniors.

“The competition is going to be hard because it’s a big meet and it’s only a varsity meet and varsity is made up of the fastest runners, so it’s important to win and there’s little room to mess up since it seems like everything is on the line will getting some kind of scholarship,” Munoz said.
