“It was a great team victory as the girls overcame some setbacks, but stepped up in other events to make up the difference for the team, as the 4x100-meter relay team finished in first place, but was disqualified for being out of the exchange zone and also due to a heat injury that took Nora O’Brien out of the 3200-meter run, just after she had run real well in the 1600.”
