The 2026 Pepsi Florida Relays high school division is shaping up to be one of the premier meets in Florida-and arguably the nation. This year's edition is highlighted by the outdoor debut of Bullis School's powerhouse boys and girls squads, headlined by Olympian Quincy Wilson in the 400m.

Wilson enters fresh off a historic indoor season, having set a new national high school record of 45.37 in the 400m at New Balance Nationals Indoors. His appearance alone elevates the meet's profile, but he won't be the only star on display.

The meet also features a deep lineup of Florida's top boys and girls track and field athletes, setting the stage for a highly competitive weekend across all events.

Here's a look at Friday's events:
