Athletes are preparing to descend upon Philadelphia to participate in the oldest and largest track and field competition in the United States this Thursday through Saturday at the Penn Relays.
The University of Pennsylvania has hosted the event annually since April 21, 1895. BYU will also send athletes to the Utah/Idaho Borderclash in Boise, Idaho, on Friday and Saturday.
“The Penn Relays is a really fun, exciting meet to go to,” BYU track and field head coach Ed Eyestone said. “You get a stadium full of very enthusiastic track and field fans. It’s like performing on one of the great stages in the world for a track and field athlete.
