DES MOINES, Iowa – The final day of the 115th running of the Drake Relays presented by Xtream powered by Mediacom was one for the ages, with some of the oldest records in recent history being broken and Olympic gold medalists delighting the crowd at Drake Stadium.
Ten records were set Saturday, pushing the three-day total to 21 and highlighted by a 64-year mark falling in the men's long jump.
Just an hour after Minnesota sophomore Charles Godfred took down the oldest mark in the Drake Relays record book in the men's long jump, a 50-year-old meet record was erased in the women's mile, as had been expected.
