Griffin, Drake athletic director at the time, probably never imagined the relays he started back in 1910 to give the Drake track team more competition would have evolved into the Drake Relays that people have come to expect today. Main events for this year's 91st Relays will take place April 28-29. The combined events of the heptathlon and decathlon start April 26, making the Relays a four-day event. Griffin's first relays included eight teams with 115 athletes and about that many spectators, according to the Drake Relays Web site. But this year, Bob Ehrhart, Relays director, said he expects more than 9,500 athletes to compete in 99 events and a 35th-straight sellout, with a crowd of 18,000 expected on Saturday.
