WHAT TO KNOW

Shawn Wilbourn enters his third season as the Director of Track & Field and Cross Country.
Duke looks to build on an incredible 2021-22 season that saw the men's and women's team combine to shatter 10 program records, set 46 top-five program marks and qualify a school-record 17 individuals to the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
A total of 43 student-athletes, 30 women and 13 men, will represent Duke at the season-opening meet on Saturday, including 18 set to make their respective Blue Devil debuts.
Several key performers from a season ago open their season this weekend, including USTFCCCA All-Americans Halle Bieber, Abby Geiser, Megan McGinnis and Isabel Wakefield along with NCAA East Regional qualifiers Beau Allen, Brynn King and Brianna Smith.

MAATOUG ALSO IN ACTION THIS WEEKEND

Fresh off a phenomenal inaugural Duke cross country season that culminated in a sixth-place finish and USTFCCCA All-America honors, sophomore Amina Maatoug looks to carry that momentum into her first track and field season.
Maatoug will be the lone Blue Devil representative at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener this weekend in Boston, Mass., hosted by Boston University.
The Leiden, Netherlands product will compete amid a loaded 3,000m field on Saturday at 2:13 p.m., as she looks to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships.
