Cornell History at the Greg Page Relays

• Formerly named the Cornell Relays, the name of the meet was changed in 2013 to honor Greg Page, who founded the Cornell women's program when he was a graduate student at Cornell in the 1970s.
• At the Greg Page Relays last year, the Big Red had 10 event wins and 15 IC4A standards, including 18 top-3 finishes. Additionally, Oseoba Airewele was named the meet's most outstanding field performer and Austin Lyons was named the most outstanding men's track performer. Lyons finished first in the 60m hurdles while Airewele won both the long jump and triple jump.

 

Up Next
