“I’m anticipating Noah doing very well in the state tournament, especially in the 100m, 110m hurdles and 200m,” Pearson said. “He’s got some kids that are faster than him in the 400m, so we’ll see what happens. My husband said he always happens to find another gear when he needs it. Cody will also have to dig real deep to try to get that gold. We’ll have to see how the relay teams do. We are really excited for the weekend and for baseball and softball too.”
