The Drake Relays presented by Hy-Vee is set to induct three standout athletes and coaches into the prestigious Drake Relays Athletes Hall of Fame during the 108th running of the Drake Relays.
Bob Verbeeck is the second inductee named to this year's Hall of Fame Class. Verbeeck won the university-college 1,500 meters at the 1982 and 1983 Drake Relays, narrowly missing the meet record in 1983 with a time of 3:42.88. Verbeeck anchored the Cyclones 4x1,600-meter relay at the 1981 Drake Relays, breaking the school record by 4.5 seconds. Iowa State's time of 16:09.45 still stands as a Drake Relays record.
