Kansas Not Great at Drake but Jays No Failure Either
Kansas University's Kansas Jayhawks competed at the Drake Relays in Des Moines after strong showings at their own Midlands Relays. Coach Bob Timmons blamed a feverish pace since the NCAA Indoor for fatigue and said the team lacked the edge of the prior week. Jim Ryun quit after a short 880 anchor due to exhaustion amid rain and a slick Tartan surface, with others showing wear from the fluctuating conditions.
