Competition at the Drake Relays today saw five Rio Olympics Preview events as athletes from across America and the world attempted towards their goal of reaching the Rio Summer Olympic Games. Although the weather was relatively calm on Friday, the athletes had to deal with constant rain and a wind chill that dropped into the mid-30s on Saturday.
The Drake women’s 4x100 relay team members had great starts to the outdoor season at the Georgia Relays last weekend in Athens, Georgia. Sophomores Mary Young, Rai Ahmed-Green, Taryn Rolle and senior Destani Welch ran the relay in 47.66.
