UIU Track and Field Completes Run at Drake Relays

The Peacock women and men's track and field teams competed in five finals on Saturday during the 111th Drake Relays at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa. Upper Iowa competed in the college division.
 
Saturday's slate for UIU opened with the men's triple jump; Jaylen Hobson, along with four other competitors, was unable to land a jump. 

Cassiddy Wilson was up next for the women's team and put together an eighth place time of  1:06.21 in the 400-meter hurdles. 

After running a 100-meter dash in 12.88 seconds during the prelims on Friday, Ellie Loesch took seventh in the women's 100-meter final  in a time of 12.44 shaving nearly a half-second off her time. 

Each team also raced in 4x400-meter relay with the women placing 13th in a time of 4:02.98 and the men placing 28th in a time of 3:28.62. Wilson and Kaden Ludwig posted the best split times in their relays at 59.20 and 51.48 seconds, respectively.

The Peacock will take a short trip to Decorah, Iowa next Saturday, May 1 to compete in the Norse Invite hosted by Luther College.
