Mainstay may have a wrecking ball in its future. 90th Relays will be first for new track in Drake Stadium.
Senior columnists reflect on past, look to future.
With all the events surrounding the Drake Relays, sometimes it is hard to remember what is at the center of the celebration, the largest track meet in the country. The 90th running of the Drake Relays will feature high school, college and Olympic athletes from all over the United States competing in 95 different events. Relays will be televised statewide as it has been for six years. Four other channels will carry the meet throughout Iowa. The old track was damaged in June because of heavy rain.
