Growing steadily over the past seven decades, the Comet Relays have become one of the biggest track and field meets in Ohio. Legendary coaches Jack Wilhelm and Richard Cooley - the track’s namesake - visited the Ohio Wesleyan Relays in 1955, and decided to bring a similar event to Amherst, Ohio.

Current Track and Field Head Coach Rob Glatz discussed this rich history as part of the latest edition of Comet Conversation.
