They aren't local, but there were several fantastic performances Friday ... here's a quick look at a few of them.

• Mansfield’s Grant Lindsey had already broken his older brother’s district record in the high jump (7-03) – he didn’t want to take away the regional record, too. Lindsey cleared 7-01 on Friday, tying the record set by Jeff Lindsey back in 2001.He had a chance to go higher but, with the gold long since wrapped up, elected to share the mark instead.

• The state’s best in the 3,200 this year, Southlake’s Colby Lowe ran an impressive 9:17.59 on Friday, breaking a six-year-old meet record by nearly two seconds. His finish, too, led a 1-2-3 finish for the Dragons in the event, giving them the first-day lead in the chase for the team title with one event.

• The 800 relay team from Lewisville High set a new meet record by just over a second in the preliminaries. The record had held since 2000.

• Triple jumper Tyron Stewart of Cedar Hill flew past the old regional record (set in 2001) by an even foot Friday, with a leap of 51-08.50. He finished more than four and a half feet ahead of the second-place finisher.

• De Soto kept the record-breaking day going in the final event of the day, the 1,600-meter relay, running a 3:11.67, besting the old time by a tenth of a second.

• Nick Jones of Amarillo Tascosa won the shot with an impressive mark of 61-01.5, a bit off his state-best of 61-6. Jones, also a standout defensive end, has signed with Abilene Christian University for both football and track.
