In the final meet before the Conference USA Indoor Championships, Western Kentucky’s track and field team is headed to the Vanderbilt-hosted Music City Challenge this Friday and Saturday in Nashville.

Up to 27 teams and 750 student-athletes are expected to compete this weekend from the Vanderbilt Multipurpose Facility.
