DES MOINES, Iowa – The Olivet Nazarene University men's and women's track & field team had a huge weekend on the Blue Oval as Hannah Antkoviak and the ONU men's 4x200-meter relay emerged as champions at the 114th Drake Relays this weekend at Drake Stadium.

Antkoviak, the defending NAIA national champion in the 400-meter hurdles, ripped off a 56.20 to win the event at the Drake Relays. This is the top time in the NAIA this season and the eight-fastest time among all collegiate divisions.
