James Logan Track Club of Union City, California, wins Sprint Medley Relay at Simplot Games

by Jason Bohne

Pocatello, Idaho- Behind the splendid 800-meter anchor leg from Thandi Stewart, the James Logan Track Club held off a strong challenge from the Core Speed team of Gardena to win the Simplot Games sprint medley relay.

Donnise Powell started Logan team’s relay with a strong 400-meter lead-off, followed by 200-meter sprint legs by Kiyoko Orange and Atiyia Harvey. Stewart took the baton nearly even with Core Speed, but pulled away from the field over her four laps for a convincing win.

“Our goal coming in was to win,” Powell said. “This kicks off our season, so we wanted to see where we are at. We’re excited with our results today.”
