The rain changed the start time to Saturday’s Delta Invite, but between cold temperatures, the wind and some precipitation, athletes for the Bellmont Braves competed in the mid-season event and brought home some season-best performances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sisters Haylee Franz and Lilly Franz teamed up with Hudson Krull and Xavior Palacios to take fourth in the mixed relay, while Grace Ruble ran a PR in the 400. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
