(Race Three/Four) - Chad Green (Birmingham, Van Nuys) announced as the heat winner (Heat Five) great group of Satewide sprinters - It quickly developed into a two person race with Reggie Bush (Helix) and Derrick Jones (LB Poly) - It seemed that Jones closed best over the final 15 meters to take the win.
