Lopes send small group to Jim Click Multi-Events at Arizona
A small group of Grand Canyon multi-event athletes will make the 121-mile trek down I-10 to the Arizona Jim Click Multi-Events on Thursday and Friday. Of the seven athletes in attendance, two are reigning WAC champions in the heptathlon and pentathlon in juniors Grant Carpenter and Niki Xydona.
Xydona will be competing in her first heptathlon for GCU after transferring from Utah State. The junior enters with a personal record score in the seven combined events of 4962 which is 290 points higher than the current school record.
Carpenter, the reigning two-time defending WAC champion in the decathlon, is looking to repeat for the third time in the event and take home his fifth straight conference multi-event title after winning the past two indoor heptathlon championships.
Joining Carpenter and Xydona are senior Sydney Madrid, sophomores Adam Turner and Karl Zuber and freshmen Rae Queener and James Koch.
Competition begins at 9 a.m. on Thursday with the 100-meter of the decathlon.
