The 122nd Annual Penn Relays saw track and field athletes come from all over the world to compete for the pride of their respective areas and institutions.
Temple Women’s Track and Field team competed at all three days of the Penn Relays.
“It was some good, some not so good over the course of the weekend, but I always dwell on the positive things.” Head Coach, Elvis Forde, said of his team’s performance at the event.
