CROSS PLAINS — While his relay teams were getting their photos taken following the Region II-1A track meet, Cross Plains boys track coach Daniel Purvis noticed an oddity that he had never before realized. 

The entirety of his three relay teams consisted of three sets of brothers: Theron and Gray Albrecht, Asher and Noah Moses, along with Ryan and Ryder Reed. Six athletes, all with one sibling to call a teammate and all six qualifying for this week’s state track meet in Austin.
