Rockhold Weighs Experiments For Gulf Coast Relays
Gander track coach Beverly Rockhold plans lineup changes for Freeport as he weighs sprint dash tests, relay options, and over distance work ahead of the Gulf Coast Relays. He may move Wallace Wilson to the 100 yard dash and 440 relay, test Pat Bond in the half mile, and rely on Vic Davis backed sprinters for a strong state push. Wednesday time trials will guide decisions while discus and shot put focus sharpens chances for a state run.
