Mullock Returns, Leads Tigers to 2nd in GRC

Eli Mullock came back from an injury and Worth County was able to finish second at the GRC Meet in Albany Monday behind Mullock's two first place finishes in the speed events. Mullock twice beat out long-time nemesis Tyler Brackett in the event. In the 100, Mullock won with a time of 11.41, beating out Hamilton's Dylan Chadwick by 12 hundreths of a second and Brackeyy by 14 hundreths of a second. Brackett got a false start in the 200, opening the way for Mullock again as he edged out Hamilton's Dylan Chadwick and Trevor Dixon to take the 200 with a personal best time of 23.18. That was .37 of a second better than his previous best time.

Competing in the 400 was Grant Parman, running with a time of 1:02.16. Mitchell Andrews did not compete in either the 800 due to his nagging injury, but Jordan Harding was 5th in the 800 with a time of 2:14.15 for the Tigers.
