Minor, Suttle elected to Drake Relays Hall of Fame

Dion Minor, who led Baylor to three straight titles in the men's university 4x400 relay, and two-time Olympian Kellie Suttle, a four-time Drake Relays champion in the women's invitational pole vault, will be inducted to the Drake Relays Athletes Hall of Fame during a Thursday, April 27 reception at the Drake Knapp Center in Des Moines, Iowa.

The induction of Minor and Suttle will increase membership in the Drake Relays Athletes Hall of Fame to 198. The Athletes Hall of Fame was established in 1959 during the Golden Anniversary of the Drake Relays with 72 charter members, including Jesse Owens who was named the outstanding performer during the first half century of the Drake Relays.

Suttle, who competed in the 2000 and 2004 Olympics, captured the pole vault title at the 2006 USA Indoor Championships in Boston, soaring 4.55m/14 feet 11 inches. She went on to finish seventh (4.39m/14-5) at the 2006 World Indoor Championships in Moscow, Russia, March 12.
