UW track dominates in Iowa at Drake relays
Both the men's and women's track and field teams competed in the Drake Relays Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. The men's competition was highlighted by a record matching performance by Demi Omole. Omole joined Georgia's Mel Lattany (1978-81) as the only two competitors to win four consecutive 100-meter dash championships. Wisconsin only sent competitors for two field events and two relays, but the Badgers still fared quite well. The team of Peter Dykstra, Nathan Brown, Seth Pelock and Nate Larkin earned a second place finish in the 4 x 110-meter high hurdle relay, while the team of Dan Goesch, Joe Detmer, James Groce and Joe Pierre finished sixth in the sprint medley. Rounding out the Badger's performance was s0phomore high jumper Brennan Boettcher. His leap of 6' 6 3?4' was good enough for seventeenth in the high jump.
