DES MOINES, Iowa – The NCAA Track and Field finals begin today at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa and the Big Red will be represented in four different events, as junior Nick Huber, senior Adrien Dannemiller, senior Nate Edelman and senior Gary Jones are slated to compete.

Huber will kick off the competition in the two-day decathlon which begins on Wednesday and which concludes on Thursday. Huber is the Cornell school record-holder in the event.

Dannemiller will open up on Wednesday as well in the semifinals of the 3,000-meter steeplechase. The finals are Friday and Dannemiller, who sits only behind Max King '02 on the school's all-time list in the event, will be competing at the NCAA Outdoor Finals for the second time in three years after also qualifying in 2009.

On Thursday, Edelman will compete in the men's 10,000-meter finals. Edelman qualified for the NCAA cross country meet in 2009, but this is his first time at the Outdoor Championships. He sits only behind Brian Clas '94 and Zach Hine '09 on the school all-time list in the 10K.

Competition for the Big Red will conclude on Saturday, the meet's final day, as Jones will make his first appearance at NCAA finals in the triple jump, continuing a legacy of greatness in this event for Cornell.
