The number of Olympic athletes who will take part in this month’s Drake Relays is nearing 50. That includes a star studded women’s 15-hundred meter field that includes Webster City native and three time Olympian Jenny Simpson. Drake Relays director Blake Bolden says Simpson will be joined by Sioux City native Shelby Houlihan, who competed at the Rio Olympics in the 5,000 meters.

Boilden says the field is so strong for that event he had to put together a waiting list. The Drake Relays are April 26-29.
