Edward Cheserek and the Oregon men are staying home this year but Penn is still full of big matchups, including a potential rematch between NCAA mile champ Kaela Edwards and NCAA 800 champ Raevyn Rogers in the 4x800. The Lyles brothers will look to lead T.C. Williams (Va.) to the 4x400 but face HS studs Christopher Taylor (45.27) and Akeem Bloomfield (44.93), who will anchor for Calabar and Kingston College, respectively.
