Event champions were: Chelsey Temple in the Triple Jump; Trineisha Gray in the Long Jump; Shamell Mangrum in the Shot put; Brieanna Barnes in the Pole Vault. On the Track: Mystique Thompson, Jalea Jackson, and Troy Jackson went 1, 2, 3 in the 55 dash; Mystique, Jalea, Trineisha Gray and LaCresha Linton won the 4 by 200 relay in a time that places them first in the state right now. Good luck to the girls at their next meet in Sycamore next Tuesday.
