Downtown shot put loss hits Kansas Relays budget
The Kansas Relays downtown shot put event, a three year sponsor joint effort by the city and KU Athletics, is dropped this year due to budget cuts totaling about 200 000 dollars for travel and expenses. Local officials praise the Lawrence CVB for seeking funds to salvage the event while noting the long term partnership with KU may not return soon.
