Six Track Tigers Bound For State

Ramsey also won second in the 200-meters and eighth in the long jump, while Harris placed third in the 300-meter hurdles and sixth in the triple jump.

With the top two finishers in each event advancing to state, that meant Micah Eason’s second-place performance in the shot put would send him to Jefferson. The 4x100 team of Jamal Browner, Marquavius Little, Jamir Walton and Ramsey won second, qualifying them for state.

Other placers included Walton, fourth, triple jump, fifth, 110-meter hurdles; Little, fifth, high jump, fifth, 100 meters, fifth, 200 meters; Browner, sixth, high jump, seventh, long jump, seventh, 400 meters; Orlando Gonzalez, seventh, 300-meter hurdles; Eason, eighth, discus; Chance McClure, eighth, 1600 meters; and Justin Langston, eighth, 800 meters.

Up next is the girls’ region meet, to be held Saturday at Athens Academy.
