| Publisher Description: "The Kansas Relays: Track and Field Tradition in the Heartland is the first book devoted to the rich history of this classic track carnival. Joe Schrag, a KU Relays Hall of Fame member who has seen the meet up close for 60 years, introduces readers to historic events, talented people, and unique moments that have made Lawrence, Kan., a springtime destination for athletes, coaches, and fans since 1923. It is a collection of compelling stories both familiar and unknown. Whether you are a die-hard track fan, a proud Jayhawk alum, or want to know the story behind a sporting event that has made headlines each April for close to a century, The Kansas Relays: Track and Field Tradition in the Heartland is for you. The narrative and photos provide readers with a rich understanding of the meet's tradition, the world-class competition that has always been a hallmark, and consistent innovations that have allowed the meet to thrive, sometimes against long odds.
