U.S. Olympic Stars Headline World Athletics Relays

Olympic medalists Kenny Bednarek and Twanisha Terry will lead a 29-member U.S. team at the World Athletics Relays in Guangzhou, China, on May 10-11, aiming to qualify for the World Championships in Tokyo. The U.S. team includes other Olympic and world medalists, particularly in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. The previous World Relays saw the U.S. secure four victories. Regional track meets, such as the Bomber Relays in Arkansas, have also showcased high school standouts. In Iowa, excitement builds for the 115th Drake Relays, which features top high school, collegiate, and professional athletes. Events like the pole vault and Grand Blue Mile continue the tradition and innovation that define the Drake Relays.
