The largest track and field competition in the United States, Penn Relays, is back after a gap of two years. This edition is expected to be intense, as many elite athletes will take to the track and field across the three days. Joining an already stacked lineup of sprinters is Olympic Medalist Sydney McLaughlin.

The 400-meter hurdler, who set a record time of 51.46 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics, will compete in the 100-meter Hurdles during the Penn Relays 2022.

At the Penn Relays, the women’s 400m hurdles world record-holder will look to claim the 100m hurdles record as well.

Another athlete who will feature at the event is Allyson Felix. The Olympic legend will participate in the 300-meter race. Since she has announced her plans to retire after this season, this event will be one of her final races in her career.

Rio 2016 gold medalist Omar McLeod, a participant at the zenith of his career, will take part in the 110-meter hurdles. He will be joined by Eagles‘ Devon Allen in what will be a delight for fans tuning in to watch the 110m hurdles event.
