PHILADELPHIA/EWING, N.J – The Ursinus Men's Track & Field team opened its penultimate weekend before Centennial Championships in split squad action on Friday. Part of the team went to compete in the 127th Penn Relays at the historic Franklin Field while others took part in the first of the two-day TCNJ Lions Invitational.
 
 
The 4x400 relay team of senior Daniel Tabor, juniors Devon Greaves and Collin Ney, along with freshman Aiden Tobin highlighted the day by winning the College Men's 4x400 Pop Haddleton MAC race in rainy conditions. The four recorded a time of 3:22.79 to bring home the first Penn Relays "Wheel" back to Collegeville for the first time in the history of the program.
