The 2023 Penn Relays takes place on April 27th, 28th and 29th at Franklin Field. The historic meet once again brings in top high school, college and professional fields to compete on one of track and field's most prestigious stages.

A potential NCAA record, power programs facing off in the sprints and a scintillating showdown in the high hurdles. The collegiate women's events at the 2023 Penn Relays will be must-watch. Here's a list of just five events that stand out.

The men's collegiate competition at the Penn Relays is bringing together some of the nation's best teams with compelling narratives across distances. Sprint powers like Houston, Texas A&M and Auburn will look to claim a wheel (or two, or three) in the short events. Meanwhile, there's potential for history on the distance side as Washington, Iowa State and Oklahoma State have the chance to rewrite records in the 4xmile and 4x800m.

For NCAA track and field athletes, the Penn Relays carry special significance. The storied tradition, passionate crowds and relay format make it a unique fixture on the schedule.  Hoisting a Penn Relays wheel after a victory is a career achievement and its importance is universally understood among the sport's competitors and fans.

The Penn Relays is the oldest and largest track and field competition in the United States, hosted annually since April 21, 1895 by the University of Pennsylvania at Franklin Field in Philadelphia.

The Penn Relays are back in full force in 2022. In addition to some superb individual fields, the traditional relay events are filled with top NCAA programs and even an attempt at history by a professional group.

Despite the focus being centered on the relays, there will be plenty of entertaining individual races at Penn Relays. Some of the sport’s biggest names–Athing Mu, Sydney McLaughlin, Allyson Felix–will be in action as well as some of the best collegiate athletes from around the country.
