DES MOINES, IOWA — The late Mike Henderson, who served as chief statistician for the Drake Relays for 30 years, has been named recipient of the Paul Morrison Legacy Award.
Henderson was well known and highly regarded throughout Iowa for his longtime work with high school and Drake University sports. He served as information director for the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union for 32 years.
Henderson was Iowa track and field and cross-country's best friend. He never ran in a state meet or the Drake Relays, but his many contributions made hundreds of these meets run smoothly for generations of athletes, coaches, officials and journalists.
