This will be the first Jesuit-Sheaner Relays on Jesuit's new track, which features wider lanes and can now accommodate eight finalists in hurdles races instead of six. The track was put in by Beynon, the same company that installed the tracks at college powerhouses Texas (2009) and Oregon (2004). Haggar Stadium also has improved seating, bathrooms and concessions.
Field events begin at 8 a.m., running prelims are at 9:30 a.m. and the running finals will start at 2:30 p.m. at Jesuit High School.
