PHILADELPHIA, Sporting Alert –The 2016 Penn Relays heats on Saturday with the USA v The World Elite Relay events at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, PA.
Live streaming coverage will be on FloTrack, with USATF.tv and NBC Sports Live Extra also providing video stream coverage of live and on-demand content from Pennsylvania. There will also be live television broadcast on NBCSN from 12:38pm to 2:52pm ET.
Saturday’s USA v The World Elite Relays will include the women’s and men’s 4x100m, 4x200m and 4x400m.
The Americans, who could have the likes of Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Michael Rodgers in their lineup, will undoubtedly start as favourites to win the men’s 4x100m against a Jamaican team that will be missing several of the country’s top sprinters, including world record holder Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell and Yohan Blake.
In the USA v The World women’s 4x100m, Jamaica, on paper, is the team to beat, given that the likes of reigning Olympic and world 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and world silver medallist Elaine Thompson are both expected to feature.
The Americans look like a good bet for both the 4x400m relays, even with some of the nation’s top runners unavailable.
There will be no Allyson Felix or Francena McCorory, but there will be veterans Sanya Richards-Ross and Natasha Hastings.
On the men’s side, Pat Feeney and former world and Olympic champion Jeremy Wariner will both be in the lineup.
Jamaica will look to counter with the likes of national record holder Rusheen McDonald and the outstanding Javon Francis.
Meanwhile, in the high school section, Jamaica College, Kingston College, Calabar and St. Elizabeth Technical will go head-to-head in the Championship of American 4×100.
The College Men’s 4×100 Championship of America Invitational sees Houston, G.C. Foster College (JAM) and South Carolina entering the final among the quickest qualifiers.
