Girl Wins State Title By Herself, For a Second Time

Bonnie Richardson grew up in a small Texan town of around 600 people. Her graduating class has 14 kids in it, and she is now the first person to achieve back-to-back team state championships...... by herself. I'm not sure what Group in NJ is equivalent to Class A in Texas, but even if it is the smallest this is quite the impressive feat.

Richardson captured first in the long jump (17-04.50), second in the discus (126-09) and first in the high jump (5-8) on Friday for a total of 28 points. Returning to Myers Stadium on the campus of the University of Texas on Saturday, Richardson placed third in the 200 (25.78) and fourth in the 100 (12.51) for a two-day total of 38 points – two points better than second-place Cayuga in Class A.

She will be attending Texas A&M.
