It’s good that the twins have some good competition so this year they won’t play around with one slowing down to let the other win for the sake of sisterhood.
Well done congrats
@Preston Matthews serena cole, and one of the twins or brandy hall….one of the twins has a slight injury but is still running she is the one that is racing sparingly the other twin is ready to go
@André Muir that’s my guess too. But they have been running sparingly this season. I like it. At Central one did the 100 the other the 200m
Tia and Tina
Brandy hall and tia will contest the 100
