K U Relays Open With Record Fire In Largest Meet Field
The K U Relays opens Friday with the largest meet field yet and two major records under threat. Haskell star Billy Mills aims to break the mile mark long held by Bal Karnes as Mills has run 4 23.3 this season, eclipsing Glenn Cunningham’s 1920 Kansas high school best. Rex Stucker of Effingham eyes the 19.9 hurdles mark, while Ken Barber’s javelin 207 414 could fall as Hayden Trent’s Therla Conner and Haskell also push for the Class A crown. The Tribe from Lawrence High and Ottawa Relays standouts plus two sprinters and distance runners highlight competition as Wichita East Shawnee Mission and Topeka look to contend.
