Raleigh, NC – The Toledo track & field program will continue its outdoor season at the Raleigh Relays on Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26. The meet is hosted by NC State and will be held at the Dail Track Complex. The event is set to begin at 9:00 a.m. on Friday and will be streamed live on ESPN3. UT will compete with schools from around the country, including Mid-American Conference foes Akron and Bowling Green.

"The meet has entry standards and our athletes want to take the trip to Raleigh," head coach Linh Nguyen said. "It's a fun trip and once we get down there we'll see quality competition."

The event will be the first to feature a 10,000m race.

"Delainey Phelps and Jennifer Lichter will both be running the 10K," head coach Linh Nguyen said. "It's a difficult race to run, especially as a freshman. Based on Jen's indoor results and the strengths of her running ability, she's shown she's suited for the 10K."

Last weekend, two Rockets picked up victories at the Wake Forest Open. Senior Brooke Tullis picked up the second Rocket victory of the meet in the 3000m with a time of 9:45.91. Tullis finished over 17 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. Senior Liz Weiler picked up the victory in the 3000m steeplechase with a time of 10:45.84. Weiler did not relinquish the lead for the entire race.

Toledo will continue the season next weekend at two separate events. A majority of the team will compete in the BGSU Dual, while some student-athletes will head to the Stanford Invitational.
