April 26-28, 2001 at Franklin Field, Philadelphia PA
107th Penn RelaysThe 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. 2000 - Irish anchor Conor Sweeny holds off Alan
