DES MOINES, Iowa -- In conjunction with the first day or organized high school track and field practice in the state of Iowa, the 2022 Drake Relays presented by Xtream powered by Mediacom have released the Blue Standards. The Blue Standards are known as the qualifying marks that guarantee acceptance for Iowa high schoolers in the Drake Relays when entered in the meet. When one of the marks is attained, an athlete knows that he or she will be #BlueOvalBound. In addition to these top athletes, coaches should also enter other team members outside of those marks for consideration on the accepted entry list.
