Relays to the forefront

A late addition to the schedule gave Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn an opportunity to excel in several relay events during the OABCIG Boys' Invitational.

The quartet of Ryan Borden, Ethan Diehm, James Gellerman and Kooper Ebel combined to win two relays and place second in another during the meet on April 18 at Ida Grove.

The first-place finishes came in the 4x200 (1:36.88) and sprint medley (1:39.03) relays. The same group came in second during the 4x100 (:45.41).

Borden and Diehm combined with Bradley Zamudio and Bryce Dodge to add another second-place finish in the distance medley (4:08.41).
