Following Friday's tri-meet, Utah State continues its four-meet road swing by competing in a quad meet at Provo, Utah hosted by BYU with Southern Utah and Iowa State, which will be a reunion for USU assistant coach Janet Anson, who is a 2007 alum of ISU and was an eight-time All-American for the Cyclones. Anson was also an assistant on the ISU staff for two years prior to coming to USU.

USU will then compete in dual meets at Southern Utah on Feb. 4 and at Sacramento State on Feb. 11 before returning home to host Boise State on Feb. 18.
