The Penn Relays, also known as the Penn Relay Carnival, is the oldest and largest Track and Field event in the United States. What started in 1895 at the Franklin Field stadium brings together many runners national and international to compete. This year our Lincoln University Track and Field men enter the action hosted by the University of Pennsylvania again on Friday, April 27, 2018.
 
The freshman 4x400 meter relay made up by Nicolas Deleon (Upper Marlboro, Md./C.H. Flowers), Myles Coston (Philadelphia, Pa./G.W. Carver E & S), Abdulazeez Idowu (Capitol Heights, Md./Fairmont Heights (Hood College)), and Lamar McMillan (Mitchellville, Md. / C.H. Flowers) had a season-best relay with a time of 3:22.93. These young lions finished second in their heat and 50^th overall out of 63 teams and are steadily improving. They have three more years of Penn Relays to put their effort towards, it is something to be excited for in the upcoming seasons.
 
The 4x100 meter relay was composed of both freshman Arin Deloatch (Washington, D.C./Washington Latin) and Coston, alongside junior Rashad Robinson (Upper Marlboro, Md./Henry A. Wise), and senior Mike Brown (Norristown, Pa./Norristown Area). Their competition came from schools local, national and international, including the University of Houston, who boasts some of the top sprinters in the country.  The Lions went head-to-head with Houston in their heat, placing seventh and finishing 52^nd overall out of 62 teams with a time of 43.67.
 
The next scheduled meet for the Lincoln track and field team will be the CIAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Bowie State University on May 5-6, 2018.
