Gold medal drought broken

May 9, 2008

Finally got a chance to get to a computer after a crazy morning. And guess what?

Kelsey Johnson of Iowa Park won the area's first gold medal since 2005 when she won the Class 3A girls 3200 by about 27 seconds. Her time was 10:56.86.

She will have another chance at medaling in the 1,600 tonight, where she had the fastest regional time.

Just got back from the golf course, where Graham is vying for a state title. All the guys were about 2 over through nine holes, but scoring is up today because of a nasty wind and the front nine plays tougher.

So we will see.

Also, no more medals yet by Seymour's Julia Holub got fourth in the CLass A 3200 with a strong finish. A couple of fifths too -- Jeremy King of Quanah (pole vault) and Darrell Harden of Graham (discus).

Spencer Sims did not do well in the long jump, but did get to the golf course with plenty of time to spare.

Will update in a few hours. We have a few city kids coming up, and I am headed that way back to the track.
