Records were falling down from every direction on Saturday as the KTCCCA Middle School State Meet was held in Louisville. Leaving behind the typical hosting spot, Paul Dunbar in Lexington, the University of Louisville took over duties. The track was on fire as sprints, relays, throws, jumps, vaults, and distance records all went down.
Murray Middle School won the girls state championship behind impressive performances from Grace Campbell and Sarah McDowell. Campbell was the winner in the 100m Hurdles, 300m Hurdles, and High Jump. She broke the meet record of 5-02 with a jump of 5-04 which was a new PR. Her former teammate Catherine Claywell, 2012 grad previously held the record. McDowell won the Discus, was Runner-up in the TurboJav, and was fourth in the Shot Put. Murray nearly doubled the 2nd place teams points with 83 winning by 39 points.
Jessie Clark Middle School in Lexington won the boys state championship led by Thomas Hill, Doug Burris, and Keegan Gassett. Hill was the overall winner in the 1600m Run and was second in the 800m Run. Burris was the 3200m Run champion, while Gassett was second in both the 100m and 200m Dashes. Hill and Burris combined with Bobby Payne and Trevor Paskovics to win the 4x800m Relay as well.
