“This will give us a good idea of where they are going into the real meat of our season,” remarked Elliott. “The best thing about this meat is it gives us a broad overview of where the athletes are and how well they kept their fitness up.”
The December 3 Clemson Opener saw Cameron Rose and Aman Thornton star, and this Saturday’s competition provides the first look at those two in multiple events. Beginning on Saturday, the Tigers will have a meet in six consecutive weekends.
The Clemson Orange & Purple Elite Meet is the second of the five scheduled indoor meets slated to be hosted by the Tigers this season. The Orange will entertain a very large group at the Clemson Indoor Track & Field Complex on January 14-15 with a number of the leading programs, including Georgia and Florida set to compete.
