RALEIGH, N.C. –More than 2,000 collegiate and high school athletes will participate on Friday and Saturday at the Raleigh Relays, one of the largest track and field meets in the nation held annually at NC State’s Derr Track.
The Wolfpack, after sending sprinters, jumpers and throwers to three different meets in the first two weekends of the outdoor season, will field a full squad in the two-day event, including All-America runners Kenyetta Iyevbele (800 meters) and Andie Cozzarelli (10,000 meters).
“The Relays are always a great opportunity to promote our program and NC State University,” said Wolfpack head coach Rollie Geiger. “We have great competition with some of the best athletes in the country competing here.”
More than 80 colleges and universities, plus several dozen prominent running clubs, will send representatives to participate in the meet, which will include the 21 typical events contested at the NCAA Championships, as well as the sprint medley, the 3,000-meter race walk and five different relays.
A full schedule of all events is available here and live scoring will be available on this flashresults,com link. Delayed webcast coverage, with video interviews and footage of each event, will also be available on FloTrack.com at this link at the end of each day.
“This is the biggest meet held in the Southeast and one of the biggest in the nation,” Geiger said. “It’s great for the community. Spectators can see a lot of track and field over the next two days, at the highest level of competition.”
Spectators and teams participating in this year’s event also will enjoy the comfort of the newly renovated Paul Derr Track, which now has chair-back seating in the stands, accessible restrooms and an enhanced facilities for the two-day meet.
“We’re looking forward for the competition,” Geiger said.
