Jacksonville's Kendal Williams of Stanton Prep kept it going strong for the Florida boys in the Intermediate division by taking both the 100 Dash in 10.73 and the 200 the day before in 21.46 (into a strong headwind). Williams competed earlier in the week at the World Youth Trials, at the same track in Myrtle Beach, and finished third then. Long week!
