As you can see everyone did real well at the Wanda Lee Thomas Memorial meet and making their mark on the track world and displayed sound sportsmanship doing so. I'm also grateful for the parents that volunteered and made the sacrifice along with giving me the chance to coach your student athletes during these pandemic covid times, we have been blessed. Let's continue to do as the experts (medical) personnel have suggested, practice mask wear and social distance. As always I will continue to pray for anything that does "not" look like our Savior be bound up and kept from each of us.

 

Blessings

The first person to tell me the answer (in person) will be blessed with 20.00 American dollars 

Who is the "first" American ever to do both the HJ and 400m in the same meet? And what colleges did they attend?
