Saturday, March 23, 2024---Trojan Invitational Track and Field meet

My husband Jim and I volunteered at the Ron and Sharlene Allice Trojan Invitational track and field meet on Allyson Felix Field at Loker Stadium. Trojan Candy volunteered as a photographer. Jim worked at the Long Jump. His job was to measure and record the wind velocity.
