UKTF Set for Raleigh Relays

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky track and field is set for its second meet of the 2026 season this week in Raleigh, N.C. at the annual Raleigh Relays at the Paul Derr Track and Field Facility on Thursday and Friday.

The Wildcats kicked off the outdoor season last weekend at the Black and Gold Challenge, totaling seven events wins and seven top 10 program marks across the two-day meet. Kaylee Daniel, Anthony Waterman, Lyric Olson and TK Pahuwa highlighted the weekend in Orlando, combing for three of the seven wins and five marks landing in the all-time top 10 in their respective events.
