Hallandale All Comers Meet

Hallandale All-Comers Recap: Photo Finish In Non-Traditional 600m
This past weekend Hallandale High School held its preseason meet, 'Hallandale All-Comers'. This preseason meet showed that many athletes from Dade, Broward and Palm Beach are running fast with the season only just beginning. This meet in previous years has been used at a foreshadowing of who's going to be a standout during the season. For example, the Hallandale girls last year debuted their all-star team with athletes like Lia King and Regine Williams and they got 3A runner-up with only 6 girls. As always this meet showcase some great talent from some very young new athletes, and others a little bit older and more seasoned.
