The US collegiate indoor circuit eases off slightly this weekend, marking the quietest spell of January so far for Irish athletes competing stateside. There is still action to keep an eye on across NCAA and NAIA programmes, but the usual packed schedule gives way to a lighter few days as the indoor season briefly dials things down rather than stopping outright.
Below is a full rundown of the Irish athletes in action this weekend, along with meet details and information on how to follow proceedings:
Penn Classic
Ott Center, Philadelphia, PA | Friday February 6th
Friday’s action in Philadelphia features Sean Donoghue of Villanova University, who is entered in the men’s 1000 metres.
