Throwing It Back to 2019
Thursday marks the first time the Penn Relays will take place in two years because of the pandemic. Three historic performances in relay events highlighted 2019 for Troy.
The women's 4x400-meter relay saw Niata Alexander, Tiarra Bailey, Madison Kennedy and Precious Ogba break the program record twice in one weekend. The relay initially broke it on opening day at 3:40.15 before doing it again at 3:40.09 on Saturday - team holds top-four times in the record book.
A quartet of Tanner Guest, Maya Kelly, Macki Walsh and Gemma Finch teamed up in the women's distance medley for 14th. The team broke another school record set by themselves earlier that season by 23 seconds at 12:00.14.
The women's shuttle hurdle relay had its program-best time set by Sydney Henderson, JaMeeka Middlebrooks, Michaela Thompson and Alexis Garrett. With a time of 56.82, the team set the standard with a third-place finish.
