Donley named new meet director of track and field meet
Associated Press
LAWRENCE, Kan. - Milan Donley, the assistant track and field coach at the University of Kansas, has been named the meet director of the Kansas Relays.

Donley, who has spent the past six seasons coaching horizontal jumpers for the Jayhawks, replaces Tim Weaver in managing one of the nation's oldest and largest track and field meets.

"It is very exciting for me. I have been coaching for 24 years in Division I and this is definitely a career change," Donley said. "I have been involved in putting on track and field meets throughout my career, but to put on the Kansas Relays is a tremendous honor."

The 2006 Kansas Relays were the 79th edition, drawing more than 620 teams and 5,300 athletes from high schools, colleges and the national circuit.

A crowd of 26,211, the second-largest in meet history, attended the final day.

"We are confident coach Donley has the talent and passion to capitalize on the Kansas Relays' recent resurgence and to make the relays an even more impressive meet," Kansas Athletic Director Lew Perkins said.
