UKTF Set for Last Regular-Season Road Test: National Relays
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Kentucky track and field teams will compete on the road for the last time before the start of postseason competition this weekend at the Arkansas National Relays meet.
UA will host the meet at John McDonnell Field.
The Wildcats will compete at home at the Kentucky Relays to conclude the regular season on May 5.
The postseason will begin May 12-13 with the Southeastern Conference Championships, hosted by Tennessee.
SEC Network+ will stream the relay events only on Friday and Saturday, and it will be broadcast live on the Network on Saturday from 8-10 p.m. ET on Saturday, and re-aired on Sunday. At present, field events won’t make the broadcast.
The field is made up of Arkansas, Baylor, Florida, Florida State, Kansas, Kentucky, Miami, Michigan, Minnesota (Men only), Oklahoma State, Stanford, TCU, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin.
Kentucky is sending 37 athletes (18 women and 19 men) to the National Relays this weekend.
The meet begins at 11 a.m. ET on Friday, with running events starting at 3:40 p.m., and 11 a.m. on Saturday with running events starting at 8 p.m. ET.
Friday’s program will feature individual events from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. with the 4×1,500m relays and sprint medlies (mile total) concluding the evening.
Saturday’s field action starts at 11 a.m. ET, with a more robust program of relays starting at 8 p.m. ET.
This weekend – a fortnight before most conference championships are held – traditionally features meets that highlight relay events – notably the Penn and Drake Relays. The Arkansas National Relays is being held for the first time, on the heels of last year’s “SEC Relays” at LSU.
The UK women’s team is ranked No. 6, and the men’s team is ranked No. 22 in this week’s USTFCCCA Computer rankings.
