NCAA Track and Field Championships

This is a photograph I took while I was in high school of the Drake Relays in Des Moines. The NCAA track and field championships will be held here next weekend. Nothing in this picture still exists in Drake Stadium but the memories of all of the world class athletes who have competed here have. Every time I see this sign I get a visual of one of my heroes, Steve Prefontaine, flying by it on his way to an NCAA championship. If this round of college athletes are anything near who Pre was this event should be one to remember.

Thank you Drake for bringing a love for track and field to Iowa.
