The Music ends for Mr. Motown and Just Begins for the Young Guns!

The championships are brutal, make the top four and live for another day. Or your season ends. Matt Jones (senior) of Golden Valley via Detroit has been winning everything locally and was the top ranked local 110 hurdler. But he clipped a hurdler, stumbled and had to push over the next one and his season was done. Sadly the hurdle he clipped appears to have taken out his teammate too.

Despite all the chaos, Mastery ran a season best for the win. Ridgeview also got two into the valley meet, which is important for the team competition. The week before the two Ridgeview hurdles did not make it out of the SWYL league prelim meet.

110H--1. Mastery, South, 15.26; 2.McCurtis, Ridge, 15.67; 3. Singh, Ridge, 15.96; 4. King, Cent, 16.03.

In the 300s, freshman King stayed on his feet for the expected win and came oh so close to breaking 40 seconds, with his season best performance.

300H--1. King, Cent, 40.08; 2. Hurtado, High, 40.92; 3.Lopez, South, 41.11; 4. Singh, Ridge, 41.21.

Ms. Jackson Time

Taylor Jackson once again did her usual double in the hurdles.

100H--1.Jackson, Fron, 14.41; 2. McDonald, Bak, 15.33; 3. Scott, GV, 15.80; 4. Ka. Ellis, Fron, 16.10.

300H--1. Jackson, Fron, 45.12; 2.McDonald, Bak, 46.24; 3. Lee, Lib, 48.56; 4. Ka. Ellis, Fron, 49.54.


She took both firsts and McDonald took the seconds. Both meet up in the 4 x 400, where McDonald's squad took the win.

Taylor is the fastest in the valley in both hurdling events and should return to the state meet in both. McDonald has a shot at state in the 300 hurdles and the 4 x 400.
