HUNTINGTON, W.Va.-Marshall track and field travels to Gainesville, Florida to compete in its third different state in as many weeks as the team competes in the Pepsi Florida Relays Friday and Saturday.
The meet features 100 universities including 11 nationally-ranked programs. Streaming on WatchESPN is available on Friday (12:15-12:59 p.m.; 1:25-4:10 p.m.) and Saturday (2:40-3:29 p.m.; 4:15-5:59 p.m.).
Herd athletes are entered to compete in 15 events on Friday and Saturday including six relays. The first events Friday for Herd athletes are scheduled for noon with Reneese Batson and Hasana Clark in the hammer throw and Elena Marchand in the discus throw.
Three Marshall relays broke school records last season at the Pepsi Florida Relays. The shuttle hurdle relay, 4x800 meter relay, and the distance medley relay each recorded substantial record-breaking times. The six relay teams competing this weekend seek to break school records to record the first running school records broken this outdoor season.
