Second Time Around

Events to Watch 

Women's Mile - 7:10 p.m. Friday

Men's Shot Put - Noon Saturday

This event has been one of the primary stories of the Keydet season, as VMI ranks 1-2-4 in the SoCon in the men's shot put and all three of those throwers - Joel Hoisington, Jordan White and Grant Sanchez - are scheduled to throw here as the Keydets look to tighten their hold on the conference performance list.
