After a glorious week of weather competitors were forced to deal with rain during the final hours of the Drake Relays. The rain began at the start of the girls 400 meter hurdles. It was won by Ali Fransden of Ames.

It was a big weekend for Fransden who also won the 100 hurdles on Friday.

Nicholas Gorsich of Linn-Mar used a late surge to win the boys 400 hurdles and says the conditions were ideal for him.

Northern Iowa’s Isaiah Trousil set a personal record of 10.14 seconds in winning the 100 meter title. The former West Burlington standout bettered his winning time of 10.16 seconds at the Texas Relays.

Trousil was one of two Panthers champions on the final day of competition and took control after what looked like a slow start.

Iowa State’s Kaylyn Hall became the first Cyclone woman to win the 100 hurdles. Hall was also part of ISU’s winning shuttle hurdle relay team.

Hall keeps lowering her personal record with virtually every race.

U-S Olympian Anna Cockrell won the women’s 400 hurdles and says she has run in worse conditions.

Cockrell says competing in challenging conditions is good preparation.

A total of 11 Drake relays records were broken.
