CLEMSON, SC - The men's and women's track & field teams will kick off the 2009-10 indoor season on Friday with the Roaring Tiger Opener. Clemson will host 11 schools at the indoor track & field complex, beginning at 5:00 PM.

Both Tiger teams will usher in an exciting group of newcomers, while the majority of Clemson's veterans will be competing in various events as well. The women's team, which finished third in 2009 at the ACC Indoor Championships, returns All-American multi-event athlete Liane Weber, as well as two-time ACC champion April Sinkler and eight-time All-ACC performer Patricia Mamona.

Sinkler will not compete in any of her top events, which include both horizontal jumps and vertical jumps. Instead, she is slated for the 60m dash and 300m dash as well. Weber is scheduled for the 500m and the mile relay. Mamona is entered in the 300m and mile relay.

Kristine Scott, Clemson's top returning female sprinter, is slated for the 300m dash. She was an All-Region performer in the 200m during the 2009 outdoor season, when she qualified for her first-ever NCAA Championships meet. Stormy Kendrick, a freshman sprinter from Gastonia, NC, will compete alongside Scott in the 300m. Brittany Pringley and Brianna Rollins, a pair of high school All-Americans from Miami, will also compete in the sprints Friday.
