Saturday, June 24, 2017

PEARLAND — One of the largest track meets in the state was held at Dawson High School last week. The event is called the Dawson Lawnchair Invitational because there isn't enough seating so spectators are encouraged to bring their lawnchairs to watch the track meet.

Abbie Harrelson placed second in the 1600 meters (5:22) and third in the 3200 meters (11:55).

The 400 relay of Theresa Davis, Cydney Boudreaux, Kimble, and Erica Davis took second place with a time of 47.67.
