DES MOINES, Iowa – Drake University senior Pierce Vincent (Fayetteville, Ga.) recorded the fastest time of the day in the preliminary heats of the men's university division 100 meters on Friday at the 107th Drake Relays presented by Hy-Vee.
Vincent outraced the field with a time of 10.26 to win his heat and advance to Saturday's finals. If not for a 3.4 m/s tailwind, Vincent's time would have registered as the second fastest in school history.
"I wanted to just get to Saturday. I was focused on the start and came out well and it came together for me," Vincent said.
