UK Track and Field Travels to Austin for 97th Annual Texas Relays
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Just a month removed from its previous trip to Texas for the SEC Indoor Championships in College Station, the Kentucky track and field team is set to travel to Austin, Texas for the 97th running of the Austin Relays at Mike A. Myers Stadium, hosted by the University of Texas.
Kentucky is set to compete in 27 total events this week across the three-day meet, including six relay events, featuring the men’s and women’s 4x100m, 4x200m and 4x400m relays. 39 athletes will represent the Wildcats this weekend in Austin.
Other participating programs include SEC foes Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas and Vanderbilt, as well as BYU, Clemson, North Carolina, Ohio State, UCLA and Washington.
In their previous outing, freshman Noel Barlette and senior Jackson Watts broke the Kentucky school women’s and men’s 2000m steeplechase records, respectively, at the Black and Gold Invitation in Orlando, Fla. Barlette broke into the record books first with her 6:41.61 mark, followed by Watts breaking his record with a 5:41.34 time.
The Texas Relays will kick off tomorrow with SEC Indoor Gold Medalist Kate Powers competing in the women’s hammer event at 11:00 a.m. EST, concluding with the men’s 5000m final at 9:20 p.m. CST.
The full schedule for the Wildcats for all three days of the Texas Relays can be found below.
