The annual Drake Relays are set for next week in Des Moines, bringing together the top high school athletes in the state with those from around the world. The spectacle features high school, college, university and professional events over the course of several days.

It also marks a perfect time to look at some of the top postings so far this season in high school track and field. We previously showcased the boys, so now we have the girls, with the below times and markings current as of April 16 on GoBound. 

These are all four classes combined into one, which will be how the Drake Relays are ran.
