The Drake Relays presented by Xtream powered by Mediacom has announced the creation of the Drake Relays Rex Harvey Endowment to annually support an invitational event at the Drake Relays in honor of Rex Harvey.
The endowment honors longtime Drake Relays official and referee Rex Harvey. Known in the track and field community for his athletic achievements and his leadership on the USATF Masters Committee, Harvey had been a steadfast, loyal and generous supporter of the Drake Relays for decades before his sudden death in December 2019.
Masters-level competition, which features athletes age 35 and older, enjoys a rich history at the Drake Relays, and the Rex Harvey Endowment secures that history and tradition for future generations.
