Mainstay may have a wrecking ball in its future. 90th Relays will be first for new track in Drake Stadium.

The spirit of a university lies in its athletics. For more than a century, Ivy League schools have set the standard in East Coast sports, and schools such as Notre Dame and Georgetown are as widely known for their strong athletics as they are for fine educations. Sports in college fuel the excitement on campus and are the driving forces behind events such as Homecoming and Relays. Alumni connect to their schools by attending sporting events, and staff, such as Paul F. Morrison, athletic historian, remain closely involved for many years. From the very beginning, Drake has supported an athletic program.
