« Personal best but no medal | Main | Riley wins gold »
And we have some city medals
June 5, 2009Two events after lunch, two medals by city athletes.
Hirschi's Richard Ross took third in the 3A long jump. He had a 22-8 on his last jump, which was a personal best. He'll try to win a gold in the high jump (his better event) tomorrow.
Then Rider's James Chambers was second in the 4A discus with a 18-3, about a foot short of Red Oak's Preston Sanders (184-5). Chambers was a little dissapointed -- he entered with the best regional distance -- but said he'd been off his form the last few weeks, so he wasn't surprised.
By the way, it's ungodly hot out here and the press area is now out of water. I've already downed 3-4 bottles so far. Hopefully there's some H2O before the next area events occur.
