OXFORD, Ohio - For the second straight week, the Miami University track and field team will embark on a big split-squad weekend, with runners heading to the Penn Relays in Philadelphia as well as up the road to Columbus for the Jesse Owens Classic at Ohio State.

PENN RELAYS
The weekend will mark the 125th edition of the historic Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. The RedHawks will send three women's entrants and eight on the men's side of the meet, which will kick off Thursday.

On Thursday, Sarah Bruns will kick things off in the 400m hurdles at 10 a.m. She will then join Olivia Bechtel, Kalliopi Kountouri, and Emily Hooker for the 4x400 relay later that day. For the men, Matt Bromley, Seth Conroy, and Christopher Torpy will take on the 3000m steeplechase at 7:30 p.m. Miami's men's steeplechase runners have had an excellent showing so far this year, currently ranking sixth in the nation in the USTFCCCA Event Squad rankings.

On Friday, the women's 4x400 squad will get back together to run in the 4x200 that afternoon. The men have a busy day, starting with Aaron Muresan in the 400m hurdles at 9:00 a.m. Kenny Glenn will have his go at the long jump that afternoon, and Muresan will return for the 110m hurdles. That evening, Muresan will join Sean Torpy, Anthony Camerieri, and Mitchell Towne for the distance medley.

The meet will close Saturday as the Torpy brothers, Towne, and Camerieri run in the 4xMile relay to cap off the weekend.

The 5K and 1500m are the only running events Friday, starting in the evening.

Saturday will feature a full slate, with field events starting at 10:30 a.m. and track events getting underway at noon. The meet will conclude with the 4x400 relays at 5 p.m. Saturday.
