“Katie is starting to get more confident in her jumps and is working with Coach Howard,” Alton head coach Jada Moore said. “She is a big part of our team. Coach Howard is communicating very well with her trying to get her to a higher level. We would like to make sure she does 5-8 by the end of the season.”

Alton’s 4 x 100 was seventh in the meet with a time of 50.78 and wasn’t quite on par with its normal performance, but the Redbirds worked on handoffs and strategy Thursday for Friday’s O’Fallon Meet. Moore’s Alton girls compete in a meet at Jersey on Friday.
