CORRECTION
In Wednesday’s edition, the story on the Clark Bass Invitational track meet, which took place March 28 at McAlester’s Hook-Eales Stadium, it was inadvertently reported that a member of the Sallisaw Lady Diamonds’ runner-up 1,600-meter relay team was misidentified. The third leg of the relay was Josie Martin.
The online version of the story was corrected Wednesday morning.
