Senior Brennan Root will run in the men's 3k steeple to open the evening for the Blue and Gold, while sophomore Siobhan Quinn and Carlin Sullivan will follow with the women's 5k event at 8:45 p.m.

Senior Cooper Roach will end the running for the night, taking part in the men's 5k event at 9:25 p.m.

The event will be the fourth competition for the Griffs during the outdoor season, with Canisius last running at the Bucknell Classic on April 14. The team broke four school records at the Classic, with Quinn and Sullivan breaking 26 and 27-year-old records held by former Griff Heather Whalen in the 5k and 3k events respectively.

The competition will be held at the historic Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania, with the Blue and Gold competing on Thursday only. The team will then take part in the UB Invitational this Saturday April 29 with track events beginning at 12:40 p.m.
