Jamaica’s track and field stars will once again be on display at the prestigious Penn Relays in the United States, as the nation confirms its participation in both the 4×100 and 4×400 meters relay events. These races are anticipated to be highlights of the meet scheduled for later this month.

The relay events, which will see both male and female teams competing, are slated for the final day of the three-day meet. The exact lineup, especially whether Jamaica’s top sprinters will feature in these events, remains uncertain at this time.

World Athletics‘ head of competition management, Pierce O’Callaghan, has expressed strong support for the inclusion of these global relay events at the Penn Relays. O’Callaghan highlighted the strategic timing of the event, stating, “Bringing a top level competition opportunity at ‘Penns’ for many of the national relay teams, one week before the World Athletics relay in the Bahamas, is a win-win for everyone.” This move underscores the significance of the Penn Relays as a preparatory platform for teams gearing up for the World Athletics relay.

In addition to the high-speed action on the track, this year’s Penn Relays Carnival will introduce a Coaches Expo for the first time, marking the event’s commitment to innovation and growth. The expo is set to feature a guest appearance by Olympian and renowned coach Dr. Jack Daniels on Friday, offering attendees unique insights into the world of athletic coaching.

The 128th edition of the Penn Relays, a cornerstone event in track and field, will take place at Franklin Field Stadium in Philadelphia from April 25 to 27. The event promises to blend high-caliber athletic competition with educational opportunities, making it a must-attend for athletes, coaches, and fans alike.
