DES MOINES, Iowa - The Winona State University track and field team was represented by a quartet of athletes at the 113th Drake Relays, held in Des Moines, Iowa over April 27 - May 1.
Brooklyn Schyvinck set a new Winona State record in the 400-meter hurdle race on running the event in a time of 59.53. Schyvinck, a senior from Reedsburg, Wis., was one of four WSU student-athletes competing in the Drake Relays over the weekend.

Lindsay Cunningham, running a time of 15.45.91 in the seeded women's 5,000-meter race on Thursday, April 28, in Drake Stadium.
