Track. Utah Track and Field Places Sixth in 4x1600 at Drake Relays

DES MOINES, Iowa- The Utah 4x1600 relay captured sixth place as the Ute track and field team compete in the first day of the Drake Relays. 

"We are here to try and get better," Kepler said. "We are learning how to compete and race without worrying about time as much. I thought that everyone competed well, and competed hard. We had a solid effort in tonight and we look forward to the 4x400 tomorrow." 

Competing in the sole event of the day for Utah was the 4x1600-meter relay team. The relay comprised of Hannah McInturff, Nicole Rietz, Becky Sarmiento and Sarah Feeny improved 12 seconds faster than what the Utes recorded last year at the meet and placed sixth overall.
