Darlington coach Mitch Jordan said his girls are in a good spot for success in today’s events.
“We’re in great shape,” he said. “But you never know who’s going to show up in the finals.
Most of Monday’s events were preliminaries, with only a few events being finals.
Darlington will be out in front in three events today — the 4-100 meter relay, the 400 meter dash and the 3200 meter run. Tiffany Perry had a time of 1:02.87 in the 400 meter and Lucy Izard placed a time of 12:34 in the 3200 meter run.
Coosa’s Carolyn Cavarrubius was out front in two events — the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 16.32 and the 300-meter hurdles in 49.84
