The oldest and biggest track meet in the country. Although college and Olympic level events are prominent, the high school events bring the majority of the thousands of athletes to the Penn Relays. International flavor is provided by Jamaica, which sends its best every year followed by a huge rooting section, and Ireland, which has owned the boys DMR in recent years. Nearly 100,000 fans attend the 3 days of action, with more than 40,000 jamming the old Franklin Field grandstands for the Saturday races. It is officially called the Penn Relays Carnival, and a carnival atmosphere prevails on the streets surrounding Franklin Field on the U. of Penn campus -- scores of souvenir and food stands, with barbecue smoke filling the air and throngs of sweatsuit clad athletes, fans and coaches filling the sidewalks.

Danbury girls set record
THE NEWS-TIMES 2001-04-28 PHILADELPHIA — It was a record-setting day for the Danbury High girls track team at the Penn Relays. The team of Stacey Egbert, Soule Golden, Emily Wolf and Heather Bourgault set the school record in the 4x400 relay with a time of 4:09.45. The Hatters’ team placed third in its heat. It was a great performance and a great atmosphere to do it in, Danbury coach Kevin Wilcox said. It just doesn’t get any better. The old record of 4:15 was set in a dual meet last year against New Canaan by a team that included Golden and Wolf. Also for Danbury at the Penn Relays, Egbert, Bourgault, Kelly Graham and Suzie Barb ran the 4x100 relay in 52.65 seconds.
