Pride - Fall

The Rams Relays were last evening. It was a great night to be at the track. Nice and no wind! Jeff had stiff competition in the 100 and won! The boy from Carroll and another from Boone both had better times and records and Jeff pulled out a victory. But defeat followed in the next race. In the 4 x 200 he dropped the baton and as he was picking it up got plowed into by a later runner. He finished his leg of the relay with a skinned up left arm and shoulder, but the team was disqualified. The coaches pulled Kurt, the anchor, and he ran in the open 200 instead and won, so made up for the lost team points. The boys went on to win both the 4 x 100 and the 4 x 400, Jeff's later races. So, all in all, a good night and no permanent injuries.
