Aberdeen Christian also had one entry Friday at Howard Wood with its girls’ 3,200-meter relay team.

“They were a little disappointed at their race, a little slower than normal time,” said Christian coach David Rohrbach. “It was good experience though being here in a stage like Howard Wood, so that should help them going forward.”‘
