4x100 Relay Boys


Look for more fireworks here as the Falcons come in with the #1 ranked time (42.40) in the entire state this year! The Falcons had to tap into their depth at district running Max Rodriguez for the injured Tanner Adams and still went out and put up a 43.20 and come in qualified #1 in area. They will face off with the much hyped Slaton 4x100 team which will likely push the group of Ivan Soto, Tanner Adams, Tate Butcher and Baylor King to an even better time.
