"We're really excited about this schedule," said Robinson. "We're going to be competing in top level meets against some of the nation's best teams every week. These are the kind of experiences I want our team to have, and I think they will benefit us as we try to build a quality track program here at Memphis." The Tigers' first indoor meet will be Dec. 3 at the ASU Early Bird hosted by Arkansas State. The indoor schedule will be highlighted by events at perennial powerhouses Arkansas and LSU.
