Legally blind pole vaulter soars as role model at state meet May 10, 2014

Legally blind pole vaulter soars to new heights as a role model [...] Brown recognized the magnitude of the moment as she was surrounded by cameras and reporters. "When I set out to pole vault and try to figure this out, I never thought this is going to be an inspiration to people or I'm going to be a role model to people," said Brown, who cleared 11 feet. Brown was born with normal vision but developed sight problems that required surgery when she was an infant and a later procedure during elementary school. When Brown races, she runs in the inside lane, where the contrast between the track (usually black) and grass guides her around. Last year, she used an indoor-outdoor carpet put down next to the running lane to create the contrast. (via Houston Chronicle)

Kingwood edges Klein Oak for 5A boys title at state track meet May 10, 2014

AUSTIN - Saturday marked the debut of the UIL state track and field meet's wheelchair division, with competitors participating in the 100- and 400-meters races and the shot put. Said Kingwood junior Myles Marshall, who repeated as champion in the 800: "With a lot of races, I just make sure that I still think about finishing and still running my race even without the gold medal." The Cypress Springs girls (42 points) finished second behind Converse Judson (66) in 5A, placing in all three relays - the 800 relay finished second and 1,600 relay fifth - and notching a pair of top-six finishes from Essance Sample and Ariah Mack.
