THE BREAKDOWN
Men's 4x100m Relay
- Winfred Porter, Darius Turner, Miles Stephens and Jeremiah Hailstock are scheduled to compete in the men's 4x100m relay on Thursday

- The group was disqualified during the SAC Championship meet for a failed exchange, but still qualified for the National Championships with a seed time of 39.94
- The seed time ranks eighth out of the 16-team field, which if held, would punch them a ticket into Saturday's final
Men's 100m Dash
- Porter looks for another national podium finish after being the national runner-up in the 60m dash at the indoor championships in March
- The senior qualified for the outdoor 100m preliminaries with a seed time of 10.19
- The mark currently stands 11th in the 22-man field set to race Thursday evening
- A top-eight mark would punch him into Saturday's final
Women's 10K Run
- Reigning All-American Madi Clay returns to the NCAA National Championships looking for more success in the women's 10K run late Thursday evening
- The junior enters the National Championships with a seed time of 34:51.05
- The women's 10K is a single final, so Clay's lone race of the week will be late Thursday night, with top 12 finishers earning All-American status
