The boys’ 4 X 200 M Relay comprised of Alex Henderson, Trey Morse, Cecilio Carter and Andre Brackens came away with a Bronze, and the Boys 4 X 400 M Relay of Alex Henderson, Conrad Smith, Cecilio Carter and Andre Brackens place sixth. The girls’ 4 X 400 M Relay and girls’ 4 X 200 M Relay both comprised of Susan Barry, Abigail Garcia, Kelsey Kehlbeck and Chesnie Brackens placed sixth and seventh, respectively.
Rounding out the day of Parish highlights, was Susan Barry’s third place finish in the 100 M Dash (12.92; the second year in a row that she has medaled in this event at the State Championships), and Chesnie Brackens’ fifth place finish in the 200 M Dash.
