Well, whatever the event...she qualified.  Nice!  What an opportunity for this young lady to travel and compete in Italy.  Is she still in high school or did she graduate? 

Congrats. What a great honor. She will be a senior this upcoming school year.

A'Lexus was one of two(Ashton Purvis, Calif 100m,200m) athletes on the Womens USA team that had multiple events at the 09 World Youth Championships; an awesome accomplishment!  Didn't qualify for finals in the triple jump but the only way to not qualify for any event at World Championships is to be at the World Championships; so... Congratulations to this fine young lady who went abroad and represented the Golden Triangle, Texas, and the nation with the utmost integrity and sportsmanship.  8th in the long jump in the world....Awesome!!!!

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "
