Winning a team championship is no easy feat.
But winning an individual state championship might be even harder.
That’s exactly what Wetumpka’s TJ Clary did this weekend at the AHSAA Class 6A Track & Field Championships. Clary cleared 6-8 in the high jump to take the gold medal.
The Indians had several finishers climb the podiums in Gulf Shores as well. Kymani Clary was the next highest finishers for the boys, as he jumped 46-0.5 in the triple jump to take fourth overall. In the shot put, JD Denmark placed fifth with a throw of 50-0.
On the girls side, Jamirayah Smith was the highest finisher, taking fourth in the 100-meter dash in a mere 12.31 seconds. Jada Walker earned fifth place in the 200 with a time of 25.48, and Tremya Thomas took sixth place in the javelin (116-3).
In Class 5A, Holtville and Elmore County both had state placers.
Holtville’s Jesse Thomas earned fourth place in the discus with a throw of 146-3.
For ECHS, Jackson Mann was fourth in the 800 (1:59.79). On the girls side, Ally Orr took fifth place in the javelin (103-3).
Tallassee’s best Class 4A finish came in the relays as the boys 4x100-meter relay finished in 43.76, good enough for third place.
Tra’mel McCoy also showed out, earning a fourth-place finish in the 110 hurdles (15.40). He also earned a field medal, taking eighth in the triple jump.
