not seem to aid her race, but it was not called back, as she edged away

run with Gooden 14.21.

300mLH - LB Wilson running strong, with Mackenzie Hill suddenly coming
to a near stop at hurdle six causing us to hold our breath. Amazingly
she responded instantly to get her head back into it and run down her
teammate Dianna Gooden and win at 42.36 to 42.70.
400 Re - Great race - Poly and Wilson into the anchor leg together. Solomon
edged away on the anchor for a comfortable win. Splits for Poly (care
of Karl Steinhoff 12.4-10.8-11.6-10.3) overall right at 45.0. Initially
it was announced as an auto-timed 44.50 National Record for Poly, but
after about four hours the meet management announced that there would
be no official times for first or second, but Poly and Wilson would be
forwarded to the State Qualfiying Meet. It appears Poly was about 45.0
hand and Wilson 46.0.

DT - Kate Hutchinson (San Clemente) opened up at 160-03 and Billie Jo
Grant (Arroyo Grande) ended the first round with a towering 182-06 effort,
just short of her 183-06 seasonal best and seeming to put her back in
gear for the big championship meets. Hutchinson was 163-06 on her second
effort, with Grant 179-02, foul, and 173-07 for her other efforts on a
fine day.
