Several Boys Rewrite the Record Book as Meet Produces Historic Marks

The 6A 60m final turned into one of the fastest races of the meet. Christian Louis (Jackson-Olin) record of 6.80 was bested by not one, but two athletes. Carter Davis of Gulf Shores lowered the record to 6.76, while Jennings Hinz of Northridge followed close behind at 6.77, also breaking the previous record.
