The following weeks will see the Terps travel across the country to compete. That journey is set to begin April 2, when they will compete at the Hawkeye Invite in Jacksonville, Florida.
The next weekend will see them travel back up north to New Brunswick, New Jersey, to compete at the Rutgers tri-meet.
On April 16, Maryland will make the trip to Prairie View, Texas, for the Husker Big Ten Invite. A week later, the Terps will travel to Champaign, Illinois, to compete at the Big Ten Relays.
Maryland will play in Columbus, Ohio, a week later at the Jesse Owens Invite the following weekend.
The Terps then round off the season with a trip to Penn State. They are then set to return to Illinois for the Big Ten Championships.
