LAWRENCE, Kan. — The Drake University track and field team competed in the Kansas Relays from April 18-20 amongst other top teams from all over the nation. The women's and men's programs both had a strong showing and did well overall against some tough competition.

On the track of the events, Gracie Shannon (2:20.08) placed sixth in the 800m. Briandrias Rhodes (25:04.1) also placed a respectable 10th in the 200m dash.  
 
Erin Macfarlane (4:58.07) got sixth in 1500m followed by Meghan Coulter (5:00.60) in seventh in 1500m.
