Sports: Kimball relay tradition continues

There isn’t any special training or anything in the water that’s been the key component to the success of Kimball High’s girls’ relay teams over the years. According to Kiotes head track coach Lonnie Robinson, it’s more about genes. The Kimball girls have won at least one relay event at the state meet for the past eight years. “Even before I got here, Kimball had great middle-distance runners,” said Robinson, who is in his eighth year at Kimball. “There’s some blood there. The McGregors won some state titles and there are some really good bloodlines with the Konechnes as well. We just like to think we work hard and train hard during the season.”
