PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown track and field programs will be represented at two different meets this weekend in their final competition before the holiday break.

The women will send five athletes to the URI Pentathlon on Friday to compete in the pentathlon, while the men will have a group of distance runners competing at the Beacon Invite at the Track at New Balance in Boston.

Friday's pentathlon is set to get underway at 1 p.m. at the University of Rhode Island with Mackenzii Phillips, Delaney Seligmann, Adrienne Usher, Grace Desmond and Chiamaka Odenigbo among the 21 athletes slated to compete. Live results and a schedule of events can be found here.

On Saturday, five distance runners are set to compete at the Beacon Invite at the Track at New Balance, hosted by UMass Lowell and UMass Boston. Jesse Edelstein, Naveen Sharma, Kadyn Kabuga, and Henry Wood are scheduled for the 800 meters, Aaron Siff-Scherr will race in the mile, and Geordie Young is slated to represent Brown in the 3,000 meters.
