Three weeks ago, we introduced Lucas Cano of Gilmer High School as a potential third-generation gold medalist, following in the footsteps of his mother at Follett and Perryton High Schools and his grandmother at Follett HS.
Two gold medals at the UIL State TF Championships have extended the legacy.
This past weekend, in a rainy and blustery Mike A. Myers Stadium on the UT campus, Lucas claimed gold in the shot put at 60-02.25, and then with adrenaline running on high, he captured his second gold of the contest with a discus throw of 194-02.
The next time we see Lucas throw, he'll be doing so in a UT-Arlington uniform.
