PHILADELPHIA – As we continue to gear up for another great year at the historic Franklin Field for the 127th running of the Penn Relays presented by Toyota, we are happy to announce the three headliners of the Olympic Development Women's 600m on Saturday, April 29.
 
A pair of Olympians that each competed in the 600m last year return, USA's Ajee Wilson and Jamaica's Natoya Goule, while On Athletic Club's Sage Hurta-Klecker joins the field after winning last year's 800m event at the Relays.
 
Wilson comes in with the top qualifying time in the field, sporting a time of 1:22.39. A two-time Olympian, she currently ranks fifth in the world for the 800m while earning her first World Indoor title last march in the event in Serbia on a time of 1:59.09. Her personal-best time in the 800m was 1:55.61. Wilson's accolades are countless, highlighted by five world championship medals, eight national indoor titles, and a four-time national champion.
 
Goule returns to the 600m as well, with her personal-best time in the event coming last year during the Penn Relays of 1:24.09 where she took second behind the top-ranked athlete in the world Athing Mu. Also, a two-time Olympian for Jamaica, she ranks fourth in the world for the 800m with a personal-best time of 1:56.15, a time that remains the Jamaican national record. Similar to Wilson, she has a long list of honors that include being an eight-time national champion and a silver medalist at the world indoor championships in 2014.
 
Hurta-Klecker is returning to the Penn Relays this year with hopes of securing another victory in another Olympic Development event. Last year, she rolled to a win in the 800m with a time of 1:59.76. This year, she'll move to the 600m, an event that is new to her resume. As a typical 800m competitor, she currently ranks eighth in the world on a personal-best time of 1:57.85 that she set last August in Monaco. Prior to joining the On team, she had a successful career with the University of Colorado, earning two NCAA titles for the indoor mile in 2021 and the indoor distance medley relay in 2017.
