BALTIMORE, Md. (February 7, 2026) -- The Morgan State women's track & field team continued its indoor season Saturday at the Sykes & Sabock Challenge, hosted by Penn State University.

Morgan posted several strong performances across both track and field events, highlighted by a few individual personal bests.

"This weekend's performances were a wake-up call for our team because we didn't show up ready to meet the challenges," said Morgan State head coach Neville Hodge. "However, we will continue to strive toward our goals."
