I’ve had a pretty good track career, I still have a lot of things I want to accomplish,' Allen said, 'and I love track and field. But my first love has always been football, and the Philadelphia Eagles [have] given me that chance to go after that again.'
“I’ve gotten to come to the Penn Relays so many years in a bunch of different vantage points,” said Wilson, who grew up in Neptune, N.J., and went to college at Temple. “In high school, it was always a big deal driving here from Jersey — we’d always have our matching pants, we’d make special T-shirts to come. And we loved going to the vendors’ village and just interacting with other athletes, and also getting to mix it up with the college athletes, asking them for advice.
Wilson has kept competing at the Relays as a pro, and noted that she even comes “as a spectator” in the years when she hasn’t run. Jamaica’s delegation will be led by Natoya Goule, her country’s record-holder in the indoor and outdoor 800; and Omar McLeod, who won 110 hurdles gold at the 2016 Olympics and 2017 World Championships. He and Allen have competed against each other for years, and are good friends.
Remarkably, it will be Mu’s first time running at the Relays. She never did in college at Texas A&M, and she never did in high school because she didn’t run for Trenton Central — only in AAU events for the Trenton Track Club. “I think it’s going to be super-loud,” Wilson said. “To be able to have someone that people have come to recognize — her performance at the Olympics was incredible — I think it will just be exciting. I’m sure she’ll be overwhelmed a bit, but any time you get that type of love from people you’re running in front of, it’s amazing.”“If you hear people saying, ‘Wooooo!’… that’s the Penn Relays call to know you’re about to get walked down,” she said to laughter in the room.
