PHILADELPIHA - The University of Texas Women's Track and Field 4x400m relay won the Penn Relays title on Saturday with a season-best time of 3:30.08. The Longhorns claimed their 10th overall Penn Relays crown in the event and their first since 2003.

Junior Angele Cooper, freshman Briana Nelson, sophomore Kendra Chambers and senior Chantel Malone ran the fastest mile-relay time by a Texas squad since 2009. The Longhorns own the most 4x400m relays titles at the Penn Relays.

Texas also placed second in the 4x200m relay with the group of Chalonda Goodman, Stacey-Ann Smith, Allison Peter and Christy Udoh clocking a 1:30.93.

Goodman also ran in the 100m championship, finishing eighth in 11.57.

The Longhorns will take the next two weeks of to train for the Big 12 Outdoor Championships, held May 13-15 in Norman, Okla.

POST MEET QUOTES
Head Coach Beverly Kearney
On the meet: I think coming out of this meet, everyone has the feeling that they can compete with the best, especially in the sprints. I feel like that is where we made our biggest move. With the 4x400m relay, it's exciting to win and it was really a neck and neck relay. We were up against teams that beat us at NCAA Indoors and it ended up being just a two-team race between us and A&M. When A&M dropped the baton, we knew we had to hold on and it was just a great competitive effort all the way around.
