The women's javelin and the prelims of the 4x100m relay get the third day of the Texas Relays started, with action continuing throughout the day. The afternoon session begins with the finals of the men's and women's triple jump at 12:30 p.m., and running events beginning at 5:20 p.m., with the sprint medley relay.

Houston kicked off the outdoor season at the rain-shortened TSU Relays on March 20-21. Action was halted due to inclement weather midway through the second day, but the Cougars still managed to impress in limited action.
Senior thrower Justine Price opened the outdoor season with a win in the discus after a throw of 49.50m gave her the 28th best throw in the NCAA. On the men's side, American Athletic Conference Indoor Shot Put champion Cameron Cornelius won the same event with a throw of 16.73m.
