The men's 4x100 relay is seeded No. 21 with a time of 39.78. The quarterfinal is on Friday at 5 p.m. to begin the day on the track. Amir Harris, Mitchell II, Becker, Morrow and Wills are set to represent the Boilermakers, as their season-best mark was achieved at the Drake Relays in late April. A year ago, Becker helped Purdue reach the NCAA Championships and finish 19th overall after the squad posted a time of 39.06 at prelims, the second-fastest mark in school history.
UP NEXT: NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
The NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships is up next, from June 8-11 in Eugene, Oregon. Junior Isaiah Martin has qualified in the decathlon, an event that is not contested at the NCAA East Prelims, and he will be joined by Boilermakers who finish in the top 12 in their events this week.
