LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) - The Willie Ross Relays, named after the longtime Lufkin track coach who died several years back, took place Thursday.
We were able to speak with Coach Ross' widow, Thelma Ross, and asked her what her husband would have thought about the track event named in his memory.
And what would he think about the event that is named in his honor and continues to grow from year to year?
District meets happen in just a few weeks, followed by regionals and possibly state for several runners from East Texas.
