Competing on their home track, the Drake University track and field teams posted six top-10 finishes on the final day of the 108
th Drake Relays presented by Hy-Vee.
Mary Young (Urbandale, Iowa) added to her Drake Relays legacy by finishing third in the women's 100-meter hurdles with a wind-aided time of 13.30 that would have bested her school record of 13.38 if not for the tailwind over the allowable limit.
The men's hurdle tandem of
Hudson Priebe (Chamberlain, S.D.) and
Bas Van Leersum (Zaandam, The Netherlands) finished ninth and 10
th, respectively, in 52.79 and 53.26 on a cool and windy afternoon on the Blue Oval.
Caulin Graves (Kansas City, Mo.) was one of two Bulldogs that qualified for the men's 100 meters, however,
Demetrius Shelton (Markham, Ill.) scratched from the competition. Graves finished in seventh in 10.73.
Taryn Rolle (Nassau, The Bahamas) highlighted the Bulldogs' performances in the field events with a ninth-place showing in the triple jump with a leap of 39-7.25.
The Bulldogs return to competition next at the Nebraska Invitational, May 6, in Lincoln, Neb. The meet will serve as the Bulldogs' final tune-up before the MVC Championship.
