San Angelo Relays Day Two Shines After Rough Start
The San Angelo Relays produced a strong finale after a chaotic opening day. Merkel won the 1:30.1 relay time before a mismeasured lane led to a recheck and annulment of the record. Fox starred with a 6-6 high jump, Williams excelled in the long jump, and Denver City’s Pat Hubbard showed progress after an injury. Coleman’s Riley Dunn impressed in the 100 and anchored the 440 leg of the Bubcat mile relay with a 48.3 split.
