A total of 27 records were broken at the Drake Relays over the weekend, including one of the oldest. John Reniewicki (ren-ih-wick-ee) won the men’s 15 hundred meter run and broke Steve Scott’s 40-year old record in the process.

Reniewicki was focused on the win and not the record.

Reniewicki also competed in the U-S Road Mile Championship last week and says the two races were good preparation as he bids for a spot on the U-S Olympic team.

Canada’s Aurora Rynda just missed a Drake Relays record in winning the women’s 800. The former Michigan standout has a goal of earning a spot on Canada’s Olympic team.

Rynda credited Relays Director Blake Boldon for arranging a challenging and competitive early season race.
