KANDRICK WITH SOLID EFFORT AT NJ INTERNATIONAL TRACK MEET
June 05, 2010
In a very disorganized and poorly managed meet, Kandrick Cooper maintained focus and competed aggressively - the Riadha way. Dennis Wolff (Riadha coach for the day) had to step in, seed and get the 800m event going while timing officials were guessing finishing times and places for the athletes. Becky was the lone competitor in the high jump and Elkana had a very sub par showing in the men's 800m placing 7th in 1:49.
