UH is set to participate in the Penn Relay Carnival seasons this weekend in Philadelphia.

The Cougars plan to run several relay teams and 13 individuals against the nation’s top competition at the meet. Junior Justine Price will compete in the women’s discus throw, slated for 9 a.m. Thursday.

Junior Sade-Mariah Greenidge will compete in the women’s 400-meter hurdles Championship of America Thursday morning. Freshman Brian Barraza will wrap up the Cougars’ Thursday night events with the men’s 5,000-meter Championship run. This is the freshman’s first 5,000-meter since the indoor season.

Last weekend, both of the Cougars’ 4×400-meter relay teams improved to season-best times at the UTSA Invitational. The Cougar women recorded a 3:35.95, moving up to No. 2 in the conference, No. 13 in the region and the top 20 in the nation. The men’s team recorded a time of 3:08.27, the conference’s best time, No. 10 in the region and No. 24 nationally.
