Coach Josh Ralston indicated the Greyhounds were shorthanded because of a conflict with a baseball game and the fact some were sick.
The Greyhounds picked up a third in the 4×100 relay (47.26) and a fourth in the 4×200 relay (1:38.95) with a foursome of Andrew Casillas, Tyler Delosrios, Anthony Hernandez and Austin Hacker, who stepped in to fill the shoes of a missing link. “They all performed well and we were all able to find ways to improve,” Raulston said. “The students are excited about competing in upcoming meets and are working hard towards repeating as district champs.”
