Craziness in Austin

May 9, 2008

SInce I last blogged three hours ago, three athletes won medals and a golf team won a state championship.

Graham won the 3A title by three shots. Great for them - I wished I could have seen more of it, but I am at the track covering some more medals.

Wade Thornton of WFHS took silver in the high jump. Rider's James Chambers earned a bronze in the discus, and set a school record in the process.

And on top of that, Olney's Cody Cope was third in the long jump.

The only person not to medal in the last few hours was Jazzmin Hill of Rider. The event is still going on, so I'm not sure where she placed, but I do know she jumped 5-0.

It looked like she was dissappointed, but she is only a freshman, so she will be back. And plus, she probably didn't practice for a week until she learned she was going. Hill was third in the region, but someone dropped out.

I will update after the night races to see if more athletes have success in Austin.
