The Penn Relays:
The oldest and largest track and field competition in the United States, the Penn Relays Carnival has hosted annually since April 21, 1895 by the University of Pennsylvania at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. More athletes run in the Penn Relays than in any other track and field meet in the world, as the event regularly boasts a field of more than 15,000 participants from high schools, colleges, and track clubs throughout North America and abroad. Attendance at the meet typically tops 100,000 over the final days.
Â
The Throws
RS-Senior Alyssa Dunn will compete on Thursday in the discus and shot put after top 10 finishes in both of those events in each of her last three meets. Lauren Evans, a sophomore who has won the hammer competition at three meets in 2017, will participate that event as well as the shot put.
Â
The women's discus competition begins at 9 a.m., while the shot put gets underway at 12:45 p.m. and the hammer throw starts at 2:30 p.m.
Â
The men's throwing events will take place on Friday, with RS-Junior Joshua Davis starting the day in the College discus at 9 a.m. On Saturday afternoon, Davis, who has posted the nation's 25th-best mark in the hammer throw, will compete in the Championship division of that event.
