It was another exciting week for Des Moines metro-area high school female athletes from April 20-26, highlighted by the 115th Drake Relays track and field event at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.
The Relays ran all week and featured amazing performances from Des Moines-area high school female athletes. There were also outstanding outings by metro-area girls soccer players during the week.
