In Action!!!
Are their high school careers
over? NOT YET!
Dorsey's David Gettis should have no problem
getting "added entry" spot into L.A. City Prelims today. Meet
Manager Hal Harkness said it is "very, very likely" a spot
will
become available. The question is: Will he be recovered from
tender hanmstring to claim a spot? Up north, James Logan's
Kevin Craddock won league high hurdles "race-off" for last
spot to
NCS postseason meet after quadriceps injury forced him to sidelines
earlier. He WILL NOT run the intermediate hurdles in postseason!
Slim chance he will run the relays. Most likely just the high hurdles
if he feels good. Hopes to fully recover for Jr Nat'ls in Carson!
Best
Marks!
Well-intentioned request: We ask that updates
come from head coaches,
meet directors, or timing operators, rather than relatives and fans.
It helps
us to verify/invalidate marks quicker. Thanks for your understanding.
