HOUSTON – McNeese track and field, armed with three of the four Southland Conference Athletes of the Week winners, return to action on Saturday when it competes at the FasTrax Athletix Collegiate Challenge which will be held at the University of Houston's Yeoman Fieldhouse.
 
Field events will get underway at 10 a.m. with the women's shot put, men's and women's high jump and men's and women's long jump. Running events will begin at noon with the mile race.
 
Headlining the Cowboys will be Jalon White who is coming off a school record time in the 400-meters at last weeks Texas A&M meet. White's time of 47.05 earned him the league's men's track athlete of the week and also ranks him No. 6 in the NCAA. He followed that up with a blistering time of 45.40 in the anchor leg of the 4x400 relay, helping the Cowboys' squad to a school record in that event.
 
White, a newcomer from Quincy University, will compete in the 400 as well as the 200 on Saturday.

For the Cowgirls, Dreunna Washington, the conference's female track athlete of the week after she took first place in both the 200m and the long jump last week, will compete in both the 60m and 200m.
