The 102nd Drake Relays are less than a week away and officials says ticket sakles are still running well ahead of last year. Associate athletic director Dennis Francois says they are about 13% ahead of last year’s ticket sales. He says there will be a big run on tickets after the high school qualifiers are announced on Sunday.

Tickets remain for all sessions and Francois says those who order them, now, will need to pick them up at the stadium. He says they will hold those tickets at the will call window.

Competition in Drake Stadium begins next Wednesday.
