@ScottUnash Very sorry to see this news. You and Dukes are among the greats in Iowa sports talk. Thanks for all you’ve done to keep track and field and the Drake Relays top of mind. Hope to cross paths this year at some point.

This news hurts. I was once very proud of how athlete centric @indymonumental was. The event has terrific potential to contribute to road racing within @usatf
Hopefully they get it right in 2025.

[David Monti 🥑 @d9monti]

Unfortunate: @WorldAthletics has not accepted Emma Grace Hurley's 1:08:26 half-marathon in Indianapolis because the event was not listed in the WA official event calendar.

The upshot is that she won't get any WA points for that run, and it will not show as her PB ☹️

If you enjoyed watching the Paris games, please consider joining this free event on Thursday to hear from @Pur_Biel, an international leader on behalf of global refugees.
His journey, including his time at @DrakeUniversity will inspire:
