The Eastern Washington University track and field teams travel to the University of Idaho for the second time this year to compete in the Idaho Duals this Friday (Feb. 2).

Field events are set to begin at 9 a.m. Pacific Time in the Kibbie Dome with the running events following at 11:30 a.m.

"We are looking forward to the meet and the chance for another opportunity to improve marks," women's head coach Marcia Mecklenburg said. "We are three weeks out from the Indoor Big Sky Conference Championships so it will be good to see where we stack up against Montana, Portland State, and Idaho."

"The meet features several Big Sky Champions from EWU, Idaho and Montana," men's head coach Stan Kerr said. "It's a definite wow for every athlete in this meet knowing they'll be part of a competition in which their talents will be tested."

After this competition, the Eagles travel to Seattle, Wash., on Feb. 9-10 before heading to the 2018 Big Sky Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships presented by Red Lion Hotels Corporation on Feb. 22-24 in Flagstaff, Ariz.
