IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Joey Woody has circled the blue oval at Drake so many times he's running out of firsts.
In 1992, he won his first Outstanding Performer award.
In 1994, he became the first athlete to win the Outstanding Performer award as both a high school and college competitor.
In 2002, he made his first appearance as a Drake Relays Hall of Famer.
And this weekend, eight years after running his final Relays lap as a professional, Woody will make his first appearance on the blue oval as University of Iowa director of track and field.
