Relays mark near-miss as Petrone falls on bar in state meet
Petrone failed to clear on a lower body touch in the relays while Marion’s Chris Dalton edged Benton’s Justin Raby by .20 in the 110 hurdles. Dalton said he four-stepped and felt timing off, though Raby coach Rod Shurtz believed his rider won. The Wildcats seized the meet with Marion topping Belleville East 117-114, claiming several event titles including the 400 and 110 hurdles, as Carbondale also posted relay wins and top marks.
