STICK THE LANDING! — Kilgore’s Shelton Tolliver (above) won the triple jump at the District 14-4A meet in Hallsville Wednesday. KHS had several regional qualifiers, and the KHS boys won the district team championship. Photo by KATHY BOWDEN There was a 16-year drought between district championships for the Kilgore High School boys track and field team. That drought is over. (via www.kilgorenewsherald.com)

Clark track coach Bobby Allen shook the ice water from his hat and polo shirt with a wide grin on his face. In the final 1,600 relay, the Broncos finished second and the Cougars took fifth just enough to carry Clark to the title. He's a friend and a really fast guy, so I guess I'm lucky he was hurt, said Blake, who will play football at Florida State. Jay junior Joshua Reynolds dominated in the 300 hurdles (38.2 seconds) and ran the anchor leg of the Mustangs' 1,600 relay win. The Falcons won the 800 and 1,600 relays and were buoyed by a strong showing in Thursday's field events, highlighted by Samantha Turner shattering the district record in the shot put (43 feet, 7 inches).

'Northeastern University sophomore Eric Jenkins shocked everybody--even himself--when he became the only true freshman to qualify for the NCAA Division I outdoor nationals in the 1500m during the spring 2011 season. Why the surprise? His 3:46.04 qualifying mark in late May was more than 10 seconds faster than his best high school time, and the 8:37.69 3K he'd run during his freshman fall gave little indication that he'd blaze such a mark in the spring.

by Dan Kearney   Abstract Some states are consistently faster than others at high school cross country running. To use a recent example, in 2011, a New Jersey boy won the individual title at nationals in San Diego and a team from the same state won the team competition in Oregon. People often speculate that reasons ranging from climate to tradition affect running speeds above all else. Moreover, some suspect that the states that excel at running are simply the wealthiest ones. This paper aims to find if wealthier states are, in fact, faster than poor ones. Full Article

The Mustangs finished fourth in the overall standings, and coach Steve Haffbelber expected his veteran squad to finish strong this season. The junior will look to repeat his performance next season, and eclipsing the personal record will drive Teel through offseason training.
