Syracuse University Senior Uhunoma Osazuwa is set to compete at the Penn Relays 2010 beginning tommorrow at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pa.
Osazuwa, who was born in Las Vegas, Nev. to Nigerian parents - Adesuwa and Noyoze Osazuwa, will compete in the College Women's High Jump Eastern at 10.00am and the College Women's Long Jump Eastern at 4.00pm.
