History:

The history of the Beloit College Relays reads more like a "Who's Who" of Midwestern track and field, and even of the nation.

The Relays were started in 1937 by Louis E. Means, who was athletic director at Beloit from 1936 until 1945. More than 10,000 athletes from more than 50 colleges and universities have competed in the Relays.

In the early 1960s, the meet was expanded to include high school events, and many boys' and girls' teams competed over the next ten years. (read more)
