DES MOINES, Iowa – The previously announced men's invitational 100 meters got even better today as Blake Boldon, the Franklin P. Johnson Director of the Drake Relays, announced two new competitors recently added to the field for the 2018 Drake Relays presented by Hy-Vee.
C.J. Ujah and Ameer Webb will race a field that includes Andre De Grasse, Isiah Young, Mike Rogers, Jak Ali Harvey, Kemar Hyman and Brandon Carnes.
Of the eight competitors, seven have shattered the 10-second mark and seven have made Olympic appearances with De Grasse owning three Olympic medals.
"We've never had a sub-10 second 100 meters at the Drake Relays and we're proud to be bringing seven athletes who are more than capable of achieving that to Drake Stadium," Boldon said.
