PHILADELPHIA and BATON ROUGE, La. – The Kentucky track and field teams will conclude the road portion of their regular-season schedule at two high-profile competitions this weekend.

Six distance runners will compete at the 123rd running of the Pennsylvania Relays Carnival on Thursday, and most of the rest of the teams will contest the first-ever Southeastern Conference Relays Friday and Saturday.

The Wildcats will serve as hosts for the Kentucky Relays next weekend before the championship season begins at the SEC Championships, May 11-13 at South Carolina.

The Penn Relays will be broadcast on USATF.TV (subscription required, although offered at discount this weekend) and live results will be on offer from pennrelaysonline.com.

UK’s Penn Relays program will begin at 7:40 p.m. ET on Thursday and conclude past 11 p.m. at Franklin Field.

The SEC Relays will not be televised in any form so the best updates out of Baton Rouge will come from @KentuckyTrack social media handles, and via live results at DeltaTiming.

Unpacking the SEC Relays

The SEC Relays, contested two weeks before the Conference Championships, will take place at Bernie Moore Stadium on the LSU campus.

The inaugural meet will feature a novel if untested format. Events will be scored using the traditional NCAA format (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1) with the winner scoring 10 trickling down to eighth place scoring one.

Only SEC institutions were invited to the meet and nine entered: Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt.

The high scoring team will win with the wrinkle that scoring is co-ed. The institutions are competing with men’s and women’s scores combined.

Teams can score in 18 relays – 14 of them in relatively typical relays, those being the men’s and women’s 4×100, 4×200, 4×400 and 4x800m relays in addition to the sprint medley, distance medley and shuttle hurdles relays.

The SEC Relays is adding a field-event spin to relays as well.

Field Events will be scored “relay style.” The single highest mark from each institution in each discipline will be added together for a combined four-event total.

Jumps Relay = High Jump + Pole Vault + Long Jump + Triple Jump

Throws Relay = Shot Put + Discus + Javelin + Hammer

Other notes

The Kentucky women’s team is ranked No. 8 and the men’s team is up two spots at No. 20 in this week’s USTFCCCA Computer Rankings.

UK’s women’s team won the LSU Relays – the SEC Relays’ predecessor – a year ago.
