Alton didn’t bring its other relays to the meet. There were no team scores kept on Tuesday.
Redbirds’ head coach Jada Moore said she was pleased with both Epps and Johnson.
“Epps is so competitive and works hard at anything I ask her to do,” Moore said. “Johnson is a freshman and is young, raw and really hungry. She constantly asks ‘what can I do better to improve?’”
Alton’s girls return to action Friday at the Belleville West Relays and Moore said they will field their normal full team for that meet.
