    For those who live or are visiting the Gainesville area, the Florida Relays are being staged April 4th and 5th. If you have never attended a track and field meet this is one of the premier events of its type in the United States.

    It has collegiate, high school, and professional’s competing. Quincy Wilson out of Bullis High School in Maryland who competed for the United States in the last Summer Olympics , is scheduled to compete in the 400 meters. Several Gators are due to return to competition. The international field has several excellent competitors.

    If you have a chance drop by, you’ll be pleasantly surprised how exciting track and field can be.

    Used to love going to a track/baseball weekend. Sit on top row of the Mac and watch track between batters

    Would ride my bike up to Percy Beard track when I was young. Loved watching T&F events!

    I participated in the Florida Relays in '83. Yes, I'm that old!

    83? When track was clay and the lines were chalk! :). Love the Fla relays! I loved competing in track and field. It was a full day, but pretty fun.
