The Penn Relays is excited to announce the 2
nd Annual Penn Relays Winter Showcase, at the Jane and David Ott Center for Track & Field on January 31, 2026. This high school event is designed for maximum team participation and will contest a series of running events.
After a very successful and debut in January 2025, the Penn Relays Winter Showcase will again feature the top HS track athletes in the Greater Philadelphia Area.
What's new in 2026:
- Boys and Girls teams will compete on one day with the girls in the morning and the boys in the afternoon.
- Registration will be done through Athletic.net and the girls meet and the boys meet will be set up separately to ensure we can add as many teams as possible.
- We will accept the top 100 athletes in each event (top 75 in the 3000m & top 12 DMR teams) rather than having a qualifying standard for entry.
Events and Entry Standards:
We will accept the top 100 entries in the individual events (top 75 in the 3000m)
Athletes will be accepted or rejected directly within Athletic.net with as much notice as possible
Girls:
- 60m
- 60mH
- 200m
- 400m

Due to facility capacity restrictions, boy's and girl's teams will compete in separate sessions. Acceptance into an event will only allow that athlete access to the facility during the session in which they are competing. The facility will be cleared of athletes and spectators between sessions.
