Purdue honors former Purdue throws coach and Hall of Fame Official Gene Edmonds for the 19th-consecutive year with the Gene Edmonds Invitational. The previous 18 years, the Boilermakers hosted Indiana State for the Gene Edmonds Cup, an event that featured a traveling trophy. The Boilermakers won all 18 meetings before the cup was retired after last year's meet. This year's Gene Edmonds Invitational replaces the annual event and features IUPUI on the men's side and Louisville for the men and women. The meet will be unscored.
