RALEIGH, N.C. - The NC State track and field program is set to kick off the outdoor portion of its schedule as it hosts the 2018 edition of the Raleigh Relays at the Paul Derr Track & Field Facility this weekend. Known as one of the biggest outdoor track meets on the East Coast, the Raleigh Relays will run all day Friday and Saturday, with events beginning at 9 a.m. Friday and starting again at 9:45 a.m. Saturday.
Over 120 NCAA programs will be represented at the meet, as well as professional athletes and high school competitors.
PACK HITS THE TRACK:
NC State will have a full squad competing at the Raleigh Relays, which is its only home meet of the season. Check out a full schedule of events for the Wolfpack competitors.
The meet has proven to serve NC State athletes well, allowing members of the Wolfpack to set conference, regional, and national marks early in the season.
2017 OUTDOOR SEASON REWIND:
The 2017 outdoor season brought tremendous success for the Wolfpack. The team saw 14 athletes achieve All-ACC honors at the conference championship meet.
Cravont Charleston made a statement as a true freshman, winning two individual ACC titles. He placed first in the 100m with the second-fastest time in program history and also took gold in the 200m. His performances earned him ACC Freshman of the Year honors, and he was named the Men's Track MVP at the ACC Outdoor Championships.
Charleston, Junpai Dowdy, Nyheim Hines, and Dylan Peebles added another title for the Pack in the 4x100m relay, which they won with a time of 39.14.
NC State was well-represented at the NCAA East Preliminary meet, with three members of the Wolfpack advancing to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Included in those three was current Wolfpack senior Erika Kemp, who ended her junior campaign with Second Team All-America honors in the 5,000m.
