Birmingham, AL – The Patriots sprinters were in action at the UAB Green and Gold Invite on Saturday while a Cumberlands racewalker competed at the 117th Millrose Games in New York, NY. Both squads came away with impressive performances, including multiple national standards and program records.

Lillian Guzman also ran in both the 60m and 200m in Birmingham on Saturday. She clocked a 7.88 in the 60m prelims, then ran a 26.07 in the 200m.
