"This is a performance meet." said director of cross country and track & field Greg Roy. "Starting to let off the gas with the training a little bit. Our top guys will still be looking at NCAA qualifying in some events. On the men's side, we are in pretty good shape and the same on the women's side, in really good shape. Our oval kids will really be looking to get after it. It's a really, really fast track, one of the fastest in the country, so they will really be looking to open it up.
"We competed really well at New England's, both men and women, and now we go out and see what kind of shape we are in. We know what we are here for. We should be really loose. This is a really fun meet, people coming from all over the place to run here. We'll enjoy it and then we get ready for conference."
The Huskies are coming off winning their second-straight and 25th overall New England Indoor Championship where they dominated a 22-team field, claiming four individual titles and recording 17 top-three finishes on the weekend.
Following Saturday's meet, UConn will have a week to get ready to take part in the 2020 American Athletic Conference Indoor Championship on February 28 and 29 in Birmingham, Alabama.
