Drake Relays director Blake Boldon expects more than 100 athletes taking part in the Drake Relays this week to compete in the Paris Olympics. For a meet like Drake an Olympic year aways provides challenges in assembling a field as many Olympic hopefuls alter their schedule to get ready for the U-S Olympic Trials. Others use Drake as an early season test.

Boldon says many of the athletes competing this week are Olympic hopefuls.

Boldon says a large contingent of foreign athletes this week will compete in Paris.
