DURHAM – The Blue Devils will split into two groups this weekend as several members of the Duke track & field team will head to Nashville, Tenn., for the Music City Challenge while others make the trek to Clemson, S.C., to compete in the Tiger Paw Invitational. Both meets are scheduled for Feb. 10-11.

WHAT TO KNOW

The Duke women moved up to No. 16 in the USTFCCCA rankings and boast the No. 3 pentathlon unit along with the No. 6 800m squad in the #EventSquad rankings.
Duke has rewritten the record book through six meets this season, breaking eight school records and setting 28 top-five program marks.
Sophomore Amina Maatoug is the reigning ACC Women's Track Performer of the Week, following a record-breaking performance at the JDL Camel City Invite this past weekend that saw Maatoug take down her second individual and third overall school record of the year.
After shattering the program record in the women's 3,000m to open the indoor season and helping the women's distance medley relay squad dismantle the 10-year-old school record in the DMR at the Hokie Invitational, Maatoug clocked a final time of 4:32.54 to finish as runner up,
Her time, which currently ranks seventh nationally, broke the Camel City Invite collegiate record in the event, while also taking down the previous 12-year-old Duke record set by Kate Van Buskirk in 2011 in the process.
Maatoug is the second Blue Devil this season to earn a weekly conference honor, joining graduate student Isabel Wakefield, who was named ACC Women's Field Performer of the Week on Jan. 24.

LAST TIME OUT

The Blue Devils took part in the JDL Camel City Invite this past weekend and broke one school record, set three top-five program marks and won two events.
In addition to Maatoug's record-setting performance (mentioned above) in the women's mile, Duke notched wins in the men's and women's pole vault.
Graduate student Tyler Hrbek captured the first win for the Blue Devils, clearing all three heights on his first attempt, before finishing at a final height of 5.00m (16-4.75 feet) to put himself atop the 17-member field.
On the women's side, the Blue Devils completed the pole vault sweep as the 17th-ranked Duke women won the women's event behind a personal-best performance from senior Brynn King.
King improved her previous best mark, set at the Hokie Invitational, by clearing 4.25m (13-11.25) – tying her for fourth all-time on the Duke charts.
Graduate student Isabel Wakefield tied her personal best and No. 2 Duke 60m hurdles time of 8.15 seconds in the prelims, booking her ticket to the next round in the process. In the final, Wakefield clocked 8.25 seconds to finish as the runner-up, finishing 0.06 seconds behind former Blue Devil Cha'Mia Rothwell.
Sophomore Paige Sommers also had a strong showing for the Blue Devils in the women's pole vault as the sophomore matched her personal best of 4.10m (13-5.25 feet) to finish as runner-up.
