It's NCAA Relays Weekend, But No One Is Racing Each Other

This upcoming weekend is typically reserved for relay invitationals and carnivals. The best collegiate relay squads from around the country compete against each other and give fans a glimpse of what's to come at the NCAA outdoor championships.

However, with the introduction of new meets to the NCAA calendar, most of the top teams won't be racing each other this year. 

Check out the list below of the current top eight relay teams and where those schools will be competing this weekend.

Not one race will feature a top-four matchup.
