Because of inclement weather at the outdoor venue, the Lady Raiders decided to withdraw from the 300 as coach Reggie Miller felt the worsening conditions were unsafe.

The competition caps the indoor track season and the focus now shifts to the outdoor campaign with tryouts scheduled for Monday, Feb. 17.
