Kayla alone was nearly 8% of the points scored. DANG.
What was the result for the 4×100?
UJ
Lisa, you look great. Jared what an honor for you attendance!
Kayla – Nicely done. State qualifying – just great.
Kayla 2 a big hit, I am sure.
Jack great photos as usual.
Kayla uploads the all the photos to facebook for the team. KP didn’t run the 4×100, as you can only do 4 events. The relay ran a state #2 51.84 without her or Carla.
Scoring goes 5-3-1 for 1st through 3rd. Kayla was the 2nd highest point scorer for the team behind Forbes’s 20.
