CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga junior Kennedy Thomson will run this weekend at the Raleigh Relays hosted by North Carolina State.
Â
"Kennedy has been invited to participate in this very prestigious meet," Chattanooga head coach Andy Meyer said. "It is an honor for her, for us as coaches and the university to have her represent us.
Â
"She will be racing against the very best competition in the country and have the opportunity to race hard and hopefully come back with some great times in the 800 and 1500 meter races."
Â
Thomson will compete in the 800 and 1500 meter runs. She ran a personal best 2:09.54 in the 800 meter at the Emory Invitational resulting in her first Southern Conference Track Athlete of the Week nod. That time was just 0.66 behind the school record set in 2016 by Maddison Melchionna (2:08.88).
Â
"She is very close to the NCAA qualifying times and outdoor school records," Meyer said. "With a great field to help pull her through we hope she can accomplish these goals here."
Â
Live scoring will be available on the cross country/track and field schedule page at GoMocs.com.
