Tucumcari Rattler Luke Smith placed first in the 300 meter hurdles and improved his state qualifying time.

The Tucumcari Rattlers placed first and second Saturday during their annual relay at Rattlers Stadium.

The Rattler Relays had 17 schools competing in the event looking for a chance to qualify or improve upon current qualifying legs for state competition.

The Rattlers and Lady Rattlers track teams both had new qualifiers for state and members who improved current qualifying marks, said Wayne Ferguson, Rattler head track coach.

Ferguson said Rattlers Dimitri Chapell qualified in the 100 meter dash (11.20) during the relays while those lowering their state qualifying times were Luke Smith in the 300 meter (42.52) hurdles and the Boys 400 (43.97) and 800 meter (1:34.24) relay teams.

Lady Rattler Crystal Hernandez qualified in the mile (12.59.50) and the girls 800 meter (1:54.55) and mile relay (4:30.78) teams.

Brooke Dow increased her distance in the long jump (17 foot and 2 1/2 inches). She currently leads state.

Melissa Gardea increased her discus distance (106 feet 3 1/2 inches). She also leads the state.
