Tampa, Fla. April 25, 2024 – The University of South Florida track and field travels Thursday to Jacksonville, Fla. for the East Coast Relays at the University of North Florida. The Bulls will have a split squad this weekend, traveling most sprinters and hurdlers to the Penn Relays and the remaining roster to the East Coast Relays.

This is the final regular season meet before the AAC Outdoor track and field Championship, so most of the team will participate in events as preparation.

The men's team is currently ranked 10^th in the nation, and the only non-power-five conference team to be in the top-25 rankings. Multiple athletes with marks that contributed towards that ranking will be in action at UNF this weekend.
 
Goodness Iredia just won the AAC's male field athlete of the week this week after jumping the NCAA's 10^th-best triple jump distance at the Mt. SAC Relays (15.93m / 52' – 3.75"). Iredia will compete in the long jump at 4:00 p.m. Friday and the triple jump at 1:00 p.m. Saturday.
 
Kobe Babin has the 12^th-ranked clearance in Division I NCAA this season (5.40m / 17' – 8.50") and will be competing in the men's pole vault invite on Friday at 4:00 p.m.
 
Vincent Ugwoke has the nation's 15^th-best discus toss (59.76m / 196' – 1.00") and will be competing in the shot put Friday at 4:00 p.m. and discus Saturday at 9:00 a.m.
 
Darian Mills has the 45^th-best 400m hurdles time in the NCAA (51.37) and will look to top that time on Friday (time of event is TBD). Mills will also race in the 110m hurdles Saturday at 1:55 p.m.
