Unedited reports from coaches…
South Decatur’s Sariina Kalli- This was our heaviest competition week of the season, with meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Last night’s win for both boys and girls was a great reward for the hard work these kids have been putting in. Plus, there were seven different relays instead of the usual three, so it let our kids have a little fun too. The girls posted 10 personal records, and the boys marked eight.
South hosts a rescheduled meet with Rushville and North Decatur on Thursday, April 28, before heading into county, conference, and sectionals in May.
