Competition at the Drake Relays today saw five Rio Olympics Preview events as athletes from across America and the world attempted towards their goal of reaching the Rio Summer Olympic Games.
Although the weather was relatively calm on Friday, the athletes had to deal with constant rain and a wind chill in the mid-30s.
In the men’s 110-meter hurdles, Omar McLeod came in first in 13.08. He said that this performance is an indicator that he is in great shape.
“You always want to see where you’re at for your first race so it can set you up,” McLeod said.
