We continue our week long preview of the Drake Relays, on Thursday is when the Heptathlon and Decathlon finish up. Those events will start on Wednesday and finish Thursday afternoon before the Distance Carnival Thursday night.

That is Director of the Drake Relays, Blake Bolden. He says the best part of Thursday night will be the Thursday Night Throw Down, for the 2nd consecutive year.

They will have the Men’s and Women’s Hammer Throw as well as Men’s and Women’s Javelin Throw.

Bolden says this is the perfect overlap of ballet and ancient warfare. Learn more about the Drake Relays and get tickets for the events at drakerelays.org
