THE FLATS – Georgia Tech track and field hits the road this weekend for the final time in the regular season, heading to Jacksonville, Fla., for the East Coast Relays, hosted by North Florida.
The two-day meet will begin Friday, May 2 and will wrap up on Saturday, May 3. The meet will not be streamed, but live results will be available.
Action for the Yellow Jackets will begin on Friday at 3 p.m., with Omar Arnaout in action in the high jump. Running events will start with Sarah Noel and Winston DeCuir in the 400m hurdles at 6 p.m.
Ten Yellow Jackets from the women’s squad head to the meet, while six from the men’s team will compete. Tech will focus on field events and sprints this weekend, as no distance runners will make the trip.
Tech is coming off a split squad weekend, where the distance squad was in action at the Penn Relays, while other Yellow Jackets competed at the Tiger Track Classic.
After the two-day meet in Jacksonville, Tech will turn its attention to the postseason, with ACC Outdoor Championships set for May 15-17 in Winston Salem.
