After being rescheduled due to last Saturday's powerful storms hitting most of Virginia hard, the All-American Relays were finally held on Thursday at Radford High School gathering some of top athletes from area small schools. Pulaski County sophomore Sydney Anderson was clearly the athlete of the meet as she dominated with a sweep of the sprints and clearing 5'2" in the high jump and recording a mark of 16'8.25" in the long jump to give her a total of five individual first place finishes. Anderson clocked swift times of 12.74 in the 100, 26.51 in the 200, and 59.82 in the 400 meter dash.
