State Meet at Concordia

On Saturday both runners ran in the 800 meter run.  Eric did a wonderful job and got his personal best (improving his time by almost 18 seconds!!!!).  Well done, Eric.  Alex also got a personal best and qualified for finals.  She will be running both the 1600 meter and the 800 meter runs on Sunday afternoon. 
Great job, both of you!!!!
