The Beach will be sending a full squad of 20 men and 20 women as they look to capture their first ever indoor title. Last year was their best finish with both the men's and women's teams finishing second in the team standings.
 
The women's team has 12 marks that rank in the top five of the conference performance list led by Kaitlyn Williams, who owns three marks of her own. The senior captain ranks second in women's Long Jump (19' 2), third in the 200m (24.40aa), and fourth in the 60m (7.51aa).
 
Malia Talavou owns two top five marks, ranking second in Weight Throw (60' 6.5") and third in Shot Put (48' 11.5") while record-breakers Rahni Turner (second 60mH, 8.34aa) and Ryley Fick (third 800m, 2:09.02aa) are also among the conference leaders.
 
On the men's side, nine marks rank in the MPSF top three on the season performance list. The jumpers standout led by Novye James, who leads the conference in both Long Jump (24' 3.75") and Triple Jump (49' 9"). Kyle Jankans also enters the weekend as a number one in the rankings, leading the way in High Jump (7' 0.25") which also ranks just outside the top 30 of the NCAA.
 
More than just the leading jumpers in each of those three events, the Beach ranks the top three marks in Triple Jump with Elijah Harris (48' 6") and LaSalle Jackson (48' 4.75") right behind James and Benjamin Ahenguah (24' 3") right behind James in Long Jump.
 
Sebastian Coleman (second Shot Put, 55', and third Weight Throw, 58' 1.75") leads the throwers along with Pablo Gamez (second Weight Throw, 60' 1.75") and Aiden Pastorian (fourth Shot Put, 53' 2.75") right beside him amongst the leaders.
 
The action begins at 10 a.m. on Friday with competition going well into the evening. The two-day meet wraps up on Saturday starting at 10 a.m. and going until about 1:30 p.m.
