Eight Olympians will be in the field for Saturday’s women’s 100-meter hurdles and the men’s 110-meter hurdles at the Drake Relays. The races will include both world record holders.

That’s Drake Relays Director Blake Boldon who says world record holder Kendra Harrison will headline the women’s field.

Boldon says the time period between two and three in the afternoon will also find several Olympians in the men’s and women’s 400 meter hurdles.

Tonight’s (Tuesday night’s) action is highlighted by the Grand Blue Mile on the streets of downtown Des Moines.
