ITHACA, N.Y. -- As the indoor track and field season reaches its midpoint, the Cornell men's and women's teams will have their busiest weekend yet when they compete in parts of three different meets this weekend. Highlighting the weekend are the men's 4x400m and 4x800m relay teams competing on ESPN2 tonight as part of the 104th Annual Millrose Games.

Opening up the weekend's action, the Big Red will compete at Madison Square Garden in the Gotham Cup Challenge College Men's 4x400m relay at 8:20 p.m. The Big Red will also have an entry in the Byron Dyce Men's College 4x800m relay at 8:44 p.m. The meet will be televised live on ESPN2 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. For more information on the Millrose Games, check out http://www.millrose-games.com.
