The 98th running of the Drake Relays was blessed with sunny skies, the 42nd consecutive sell-out Saturday session and a slew of Drake Relays records. |
The record-setting times achieved over the weekend included 16 Drake Relays bests, one Drake Relays tie, three world records, six top collegiate marks and four 2007 American records. |
The 16 Drake Relays records set were the most since the 1985 Drake Relays, when 18 records were set. |
