Drake Stadium, Des Moines, IA | April 24–25, 1925
Butler College won the 4x440-yard relay at the Drake Relays with a time of 3:18.2. The result was nearly a second faster than the Penn Relays winning time, making it the fastest of the season when comparing the two simultaneous relay carnivals.
George Guthrie, disqualified at the Paris Olympics, won the 120-yard hurdles in 14.8 seconds. In a close rematch of the Olympic hurdles, Paris winner Dan Kinsey lost by a narrow margin. The event was run under ideal weather conditions.
A reporter for a Des Moines newspaper marveled at Guthrie's performance: “This Guthrie boy looks like the niftiest hurdler seen in these parts since the days of "Bob" Simpson. He has nothing to learn about hurdling. His form of cutting the timbers is perfection itself."
