Govs Close Outdoor Regular Season at Vanderbilt’s Music City Challenge

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's track and field team closes its outdoor regular season at Vanderbilt's Music City Challenge, Thursday-Saturday, at the Vanderbilt Outdoor Track in Nashville.

Last time out, Austin Peay completed a split week in California, which took it to Azusa Pacific's Bryan Clay Invitational and Long Beach State's Beach Invitational, April 16-19. Gabrielle Hoskins highlighted the week with a second-place finish in the 100-meter dash.

This week, the Governors head to Nashville for the fourth time in 2025 and first during the outdoor campaign. The last time the team traveled to Vanderbilt's event, they concluded the indoor season by posting 16 personal bests.

The Govs open their stay in the Music City in the field, where Marcia Dejesus will begin the day's event with the javelin throw at 10 a.m., Friday. Following Dejesus' event, six Governors will compete across three events – the long jump, pole vault and discus throw – between 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., before Emmani Roberts and Neveah Schmeling begin track events with the 100-meter hurdles at 5 p.m.

Saturday, the Govs again begin in the field with Emma Tucker, Dejesus, and Chloe Peterson competing in a 10 a.m. hammer throw. That afternoon, APSU's 4x100-meter team of Gabrielle Miller, Alijanae Cole, Gabirelle Hoskins, and Isis Banks kick off events on the track at 1:40 p.m.
