The Penn Relays are held at Franklin Field starting at 10 a.m. Thursday, April 24 with the college women's 400-meter hurdles championship and ending at 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 26 with the college men's 1600-meter relay championship.

Last weekend, Syracuse enjoyed a successful weekend at its first-ever Atlantic Coast Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships held in Chapel Hill, N.C. The men's team was led by individual victories from Martin Hehir in the 10,000-meters and Donald Pollitt in the 110-meter hurdles. Hehir also captured silver in the 5,000-meters to contribute a team-best 18 points for the Orange. Shaina Harrison finished the highest for the women's team with a second place finish in the 100-meter dash and Margo Malone contributed the most team points with two third place finishes in the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter run for 12 points. Malone's time of 33:15.02 in the 10,000-meters set a new school record in the event. The men's team finished sixth place with 72 points and the women's team finished 11th place with 36 points.
Last year at the Penn Relays, Pollitt took second place in the men's 110-meter hurdles championship race with a time of 13.85 seconds. In the same race, Amadou Gueye placed fifth with a time of 14.03. In the men's IC4A Championship 400-meter relay Syracuse placed fourth with a time of 41.25.
At the 2013 Big Red Cornell Invitational, five Syracuse athletes took first place in their events: Ryan Urie in the men's 800-meters, Molly Malone in the women's 800-meters, Joel Hubbard in the men's 1,500-meters, Brianna Nerud in the women's 1,500-meters, and Juris Silenieks in the 10,000-meters. Margo Malone and Rebecca Skodis also recorded second place finishes in the 1,500-meters and 3,000-meters, respectively.
