Great job, Drake Women's Tennis! Wonderful job protecting the home court!

And theyโre off! The initial finishers of the 115th Drake Relays are hitting the streets of Drake University and Des Moines for half marathon and 10k of Drake Road Races.


Another birdie by Jack Dumas! Thatโs five birdies in his first 10 holes of second round of Missouri Valley Conference Championship. Drake Menโs Golf currently in third place. Letโs go Bulldogs! Final round at Des Moines Golf & CC begins 8:30 am Tuesday. Free to attend. Come support your #DSMHometownTeam.


Great crowd inside Drake Fieldhouse for Ryan Crouser and many others participating in the first World Shot Put Series event. Terrific energy in the building and a great addition to Drake Relays week.

Friday night at Drake Relays ends with a bang! Awesome job by Greg Kay, Blake Boldon & Co. to get fireworks lined up for the conclusion to Family Night. Itโs been an amazing Relays Week and the best is yet to come. See you Saturday on the iconic Blue Oval!


Another incredible effort by our Drake Relays & Drake Athletics staff as well as our volunteers, officials, & partners led to the creation of wonderful memories for the athletes, coaches, & spectators. THANK YOU for making the 115th edition of Americaโs Athletic Classic spectacular.

Great group of Drake Softball seniors celebrated today prior to regular season finale. Reminder: Drake Athletics hosts the Missouri Valley Conference softball tournament next week. Stay tuned for the bracket announcement and when our Bulldogs will play. #DSMHometownTeam


Thatโs a Bulldog victory! Great start by Drake Softball to Missouri Valley Conference Tournament, knocking off Murray State 8-2. Back in action at 10 am Friday against top seed Southern Illinois. Get out and support your #DSMHometownTeam!

๐จATTN Drake Softball fans: Thursdayโs game has had the start time adjusted from 10 am to 11:35 am. Weather in the area on Wednesday evening halted the last opening round game. It will resume Thursday at 9 am. Adjust your plans accordingly. Grab lunch at the ballpark Thursday!


Iโm incredibly proud of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff. We continue to show that you can enjoy sustained excellence in the classroom, competition, & community at Drake University. It is great to be a Drake Bulldog! #DSMHometownTeam

Drake has experienced unprecedented menโs basketball success in recent years. As power-conference programs poach the mid-majorโs coaches, many factors leave Brian Hardin optimistic about sustaining (and building on) the Bulldogsโ success: thegazette.com/small-college-โฆ

I appreciate John Steppe highlighting for the Cedar Rapids audience the success weโve enjoyed at Drake University & why the support for Drake Athletics by our administration, fans, Drake Alumni Office, & Des Moines community can help us achieve even more as an athletics dept. #DSMHometownTeam

Yesterday afternoon Marty Martin led Drake University graduation ceremony for Drake TF & XC & Drake Rowing as both teams compete at their respective conference championships this weekend & will miss Drake commencement. Congrats to the grads & families! Good luck this weekend!


Another terrific #515Day! Significant turnout by Drake Athletics staff and coaches as we volunteered at four local organizations to help make a positive impact in Central Iowa. We are certainly proud to be Des Moinesโ Hometown Team! #DSMHometownTeam

Congrats to our Drake Athletics student-athletes that will walk across the stage as part of todayโs Drake University graduation ceremony. This class has raised the bar for our department relative to sustained excellence in the classroom, competition, & community. Thank you!
