Harper Carmical was 22nd in the 800-meter run.

“Of the kids we had, Asia Young, Priscilla Stewart, Zoë Lawson,and Gwen Toll were first timers,” McKenzie said. “Izack Saylor, Tanner Daniels and Harper Carmical have only been once.
“We took a young group there this year outside of Asia. Next year I expect them to compete even more and be more competitive in that atmosphere.”
