DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It’s a good thing Lolo Jones finally committed to running in this week’s Drake Relays.
The promotional signs bearing her likeness had already been put up in downtown Des Moines.
Meet officials had to wait until Monday before announcing that Jones, a Des Moines native and the annual fan favorite, would run the women’s 100-meter hurdles Saturday at Drake Stadium.
Jones’s return to the track she’s been competing at for more than a decade rounded out the list of elite athletes set to compete at the 102nd Drake Relays.
