On Thursday night, Eunice Boateng will race in the 200-meter prelims. She's in the sixth heat (four runners each) of eight, that will see the top-eight people advance on time.

Emma Eastman will represent the Orange in the mile, with the first race taking place at 4:20 p.m. on Friday. Gavin Richards will be the lone competitor for the men in the event immediately following the women's races.

Boateng will also race on Friday 60-meter dash prelims. She's got the third-best personal best (7.53) in her heat, which will see the top finisher from each prelim and the next-four fastest times advance.

The always deep field in the 60-meter hurdles for the Orange will feature Isaiah Lewis, Tyler Garland, Brevin Sims, Naseem Smith, Jamil Adams and Anthony Vazquez. The women's races will have Shaleah Colaire and Ashley Wallace. Action in those prelims gets underway on Friday night at 6:15 p.m.
Jordan Jacob, Savannah Roark, Abigail Spiers, Ellie Lawler and Amanda Vestri – who has the second best time in the league in the event this season – will race in the women's 5k on Thursday night. The men will have Sam Lawler, Silas Derfel, Matthew Scrape and Alex Comerford set to race.

The men's 3k will feature Nathan Henderson, Ethan Wechsler, Joseph Eovaldi, J.P. Trojan Scrape, Derfel and Comerford lead a deep field in the men's 3000-meter run. Rachel Bonner, Justus Holden-Betts and Olivia Elston will race in the women's 3000-meter run. That race will take place at 2:35 p.m. on Saturday and is a one-race final.

Freshman Brevin Sims clocked a time of 8.00 seconds to finish fifth overall in the finals of the
men's 60-meter hurdles. Junior Jamil Adams put up a time of 8.14 seconds in the same competition and finished two spots behind in seventh.
