Marlin Invitational Live Results
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- The Christopher Newport track & field teams will take part in the 55th annual Colonial Relays this week when the Captains head up to Williamsburg for the historic competition, which begins on Friday at Zable Stadium and the Stimson Throws Area.
Hosted by William & Mary, the Colonial Relays will once again feature top-flight competition from multiple levels of the NCAA. Although fewer teams are able to take part this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 10 Division I programs and three Division III schools will have representatives at the two-day competition. Overall, men's and women's champions will be crowned in 21 disciplines during the meet.
Nearly 60 Captains are currently scheduled to compete at the Colonial Relays. Although visiting spectators are not allowed to attend the competition, William & Mary will provide live results at TribeAthletics.com. A direct link can be found at the top of this release and on the schedule page.
Entering the weekend, six Captains are ranked among the top-20 nationally in their respective events. Headlining the contingent,
