Meet Highlights:
Marquise Goodwin (SR) Rowlett stole the show again this year with victories in the TJ (50-05.75), LJ (26-00.00) and 4x1 and 2nd place finishes in the 100 (10.24) and 200 (21.24). Rowlett ran away with the 5A team title.
Prezel Hardy (JR) Killeen Ellison broke a record that has stood for almost 20 years. His 10.08 was a little over with a 2.2 wind reading but impressive. He got out of the blocks behind Marquise Goodwin but than reminded me of Carl Lewis with his beautiful lift to break the State Record.
Parker Stinson (JR) Cedar Park ran a fantastic last 800 to take the 3200m in 8:54. Only 2 seconds from the State Record. which is Eric Henry set in 1987.
Bonnie Richardson (SR) Rochelle did it again. She won the 1A title last year and she repeated the impossible this year. She places 4th in this race.
Kristyn Williams (FR) Mansfield Timberview broke the 4A record with a 2:10.23. She also won the 400m in 53.88 and anchored the winning 4x4 team
How about the Corrigan-Camden 4x4 squad. The broke the 2A state Record in 3:15.76 with an amazing 46.25 anchor leg.
