Another Olympian expected to compete is Jearl Miles-Clark, who is a three-time U.S. 800-meter champion and two-time gold medalist from competition in the 1996 and 2000 Olympics.
Penn State coach Beth Alford-Sullivan, who coached as an assistant with the U.S. Olympic team during the Athens Olympics, is excited to see all this talent in one facility.
"You get to this meet, and you put a lot of good people on the track at the same time and great things happen," Alford-Sullivan said.
Moore was a member of last year's Big Ten championship squad. The team will be honored on Saturday with the dropping of the Big Ten champion banner.
Graduated members of the squad, along with several alumni, will be present for the ceremony.
One team that will be competing is No. 1 Tennessee.
Last year the Lady Volunteers finished No. 4 in the nation and took the national title in the distance medley relay. They set the facility record at Penn State in the distance medley relay last year.
Other talented squads competing include Virginia, Georgetown, Villanova and West Virginia, who is returning after its non-scoring meet with Penn State last weekend.
Before the meet, the Nittany Lions will be promoting the event in the HUB-Robeson Center at noon today.
The Big Ten championship trophy will be on display, and the athletes will be there to meet and greet the student body. It's something the women's track team looks forward to.
"This is something that a group of Penn Staters have achieved for the university," Alford-Sullivan said.
"We hope there will be a good response."
All of the hype has helped to motivate Penn State during practice this week. Alford-Sullivan thinks her team is focused and ready to compete at a high level.
"We've been building for this weekend all winter, and we hope to show it on the track," Alford-Sullivan said.
