MSU Track Teams Set Sights On 110th Penn Relays
At last year's meet, MSU won two titles. LaChristopher Lewis, Marquis Davis, Glenn McFadden and Pierre Browne crossed the finish line in 39.20 in the 4x100m relay to win. The 4x400m relay team of Kelvin Harris, Keston Nelson, Jamel Ashley and LaChristopher Lewis took top honors with their times of 3:06.68 in the event. The Bulldogs are to set defend their titles on Saturday.
In its 109-year history, the Penn Relays have provided competition for more athletes than any other track meet in the world. During the past 10 years more than 100,000 young men and women from high schools, colleges, clubs, the armed services, preparatory schools, junior high schools, middle schools, parochial schools, and elementary schools have competed in the Penn Relays. The athletes range in age from under eight to over 80.
This year, during some 33 hours of competition on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, more than 425 races will be run, an average of more than one race every five minutes. This includes more than two dozen distance races which require 10 minutes or more for actual running.
