The Hawkeyes will resume competition at the Tiger Classic Saturday at 11 a.m. All events will be held at Hutsell-Rosen Track on the Auburn University campus. Iowa will also send competitors to the Central College Invitational in Pella Saturday. A Central school-record 23 teams are scheduled to compete at the meet.
