Athletes competing unattached will be eligible to compete in the Open and Invitational events, pending the approval by meet management to enhance the level of competition. In some circumstances, world-class athletes may be considered in University/College field events. The 116th Drake Relays will be on the World Athletic Continental Tour, Silver Level. There will be a limited field determined by the meet director.
Unattached athletes may register on AthleticNET. The entry fee is subject to acceptance upon further review of entered marks. Do NOT complete the online payment through AthleticNET as payments will not be refunded if the athlete is not accepted into the event. If accepted, a "payment request" will be sent from the Drake Business Office. Any questions regarding payment can be directed towards Lucas Mullen: lucas.mullen@drake.edu.
