Six years later, the names are different, but the result could be the same. Tyler Honeyman, Iliya Dryaba, Perry Watkins and Aden Self (Army football signee) are this season’s headliners and coach Juris Green has tweaked the relays to be peaking at the right time.
On the girls side, it’s Gia Kurp (Texas), Sabrinah Booker, Aaliyah Redzic (Arkansas-Little Rock), Darasimi Odelowo and Gray Rabel. The 4x400 is their strongest relay.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with the top runners at The Woodlands to talk about their run to State.
