Penn Relays Carnival 2012

The 118th Penn Relays, held April 26-28, 2012, featured more than 22,000 track and field stars from the junior high, high school, college, senior, and professional levels from more than 60 countries.

On April 28, the final day, world-class Olympic athletes and runners aspiring to compete in the summer games took their marks for the popular “USA versus the World” races. At the event, Penn President Amy Gutmann extended a special welcome to Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller, who watched several of the races from the stands crowded with fans waving Jamaican flags.
