COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Collegiate athletes will make history on the Blue Oval this year as the first-ever men's and women's para-college wheelchair national champions are crowned at the Drake Relays presented by Xtream powered by Mediacom.
The men's and women's para-college 100-meter wheelchair races are part of a partnership between the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and the NCAA Office of Inclusion. Launched in Fall 2022, it is a collaborative effort to engage schools with adaptive sport while simultaneously increasing Paralympic sport understanding, awareness and connection across the collegiate landscape with the 2023 Drake Relays serving as the first title event in the program's history.
