Students finished up their work filling in squares on the university's painted street Sunday. It's the informal kickoff to Relays season, but students have been looking ahead for quite a while.
"Students are getting excited all year. I mean, I think we all have the anticipation in the fall of waiting for relays. But the best way to prepare for realize is to get your homework done, you know, a few weeks early and just start rallying," said Patrick Lucas, a junior at Drake.
The actual track and field portion of the Drake Relays kicks off on Wednesday, April 26, but students said there's plenty of other campus traditions to keep them occupied in the meantime.
"My favorite part of relay season is the Beautiful Bulldog Contest, where all the bulldogs come in. Last year I worked at it. I got to pet all the Bulldogs, and that was amazing. Seeing them all dressed up walking across the stage, that was the best part," said sophomore Megan Johnson.
