Track and field: Terry set to lead Clear Springs at state
May 07, 2013
The University Interscholastic League State Track and Field Championships are not completely new to the TCU-bound Terry, who placed ninth in the Class 5A girls 400 meters last year, but competing in three events is, and her agenda is well-planned out. Along with individual and relay honors, the Clear Springs girls should be in the running for the 5A state team title. Terry is undefeated in the track postseason going gold in the 200 meters (24.86), 400 (56.52) and 800 (2:24.70) at the District 24-5A Meet; in the 400 (56.04) and 800 (2:21.46) in the area round; and most recently in the 400 (53.93) and 800 (2:12.92) in 5A Region III last week.

After waiting five hours with inclement weather heading toward and finally appearing at Turner Stadium, officials postponed the Class 5A and 3A Region III track meets until Monday. Saturday's field events were completed during two morning sessions, but athletes were first called off the track during warmups prior to the 3 p.m. start of the running events. "Waiting it out - I had my issues with that because is that best with kids that have been logged up and tightened up?" said Humble ISD athletic director Troy Kite, the meet director. Regional champions were determined in 14 field events, which finished before the weather delay. The top two finishers advance to the state meet May 10-11, with the best third-place finisher from the four regions also moving on. (via Houston Chronicle)
