Rockets edge Chief runners, 76-61


April 21, 2010, 8:15 a.m.

  A rough day in the throwing events and in the relays proved to be too much of a hurdle to overcome for Canton's girls track-and-field team Tuesday.

  The Chiefs (0-2) dropped a competitive 76-61 decision to visiting Westland John Glenn in a dual meet held at the PCEP varsity stadium.

  "We went into the meet expecting to win and somewhere between not scoring in the shot and discus, and losing our relays, we lost ground," said Canton coach Pam Stom. "We did have a strong effort from our crew though and they had some great personal records, regardless of our showing today.

  "A key sprinter, Jordan Clark, was out today and with her running we would have made up some ground in the 200, 400 and 1,600 relay. Our hurdlers did a fantastic job and the high jump and pole vault went smoothly as well. I'd expect things to turn around for us the closer we get to the regional and conference meets."
