1. DYNAMITE DMR: At last weekend's National Relay Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Wisconsin walked away with a runner-up finish in the distance medley relay. The team of Joe Hardy, Ryan Dundun, Carl Hirsch, and Oliver Hoare ran a collective time of 9:35.19, which ranks No. 3 in program history. Wisconsin's DMR performance also earned them a No. 4 overall ranking by the USTFCCCA in the week's all-college top-10 list.

2. GUTHRIE SOARS: Senior Tim Guthrie put up a standout performance in the pole vault on Saturday, as he was the runner-up with a personal best clearance of 17 feet, 3/4 inches. Guthrie is just the 14th Badger to clear 17 feet in the outdoor pole vault. He also earned a spot in the rankings, as his mark is currently tied for No. 6 in the Big Ten Conference.

3. HURDLE KING: Just one week after earning a regional mark in the 400 hurdles in California, sophomore Ryan Dundun returned to the track in Fayetteville and beat his personal best yet again with a time of 52.00 seconds. Dundun's time currently ranks No. 7 in the Big Ten Conference, and earned him an eighth place finish in the event.

4. SENIOR SEND-OFF: The Wisconsin track and field team will recognize its seniors at this weekend's meet. Twenty-two student-athletes will be applauded for all of their accomplishments and impact that they've had while competing for the Cardinal and White.

5. BRING ON BIG TENS: Following the Wisconsin Twilight meet, the Badgers will gear up for championship season with the 2018 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
