A'Lexus only took two jumps in the prelims to place 5th according to the stat sheet.  She passed on all of her other attempts.  She will run the 100m hurdle prelims on Saturday.  Her sister Dominique Brannon placed 8th in the Youth Girl's High Jump.  Hayden Reed placed 7th overall in the Intermediate Boy's Discus Throw.  Congrats to all!!!  To all the Golden Triangle participants; being at USATF Nationals is a great accomplishment and the exposure an athlete receives at Nationals is the reason why so many athletes nationwide attempt to qualify.  Nationals is a HUMONGOUS track meet.  Top 8 finalists receive a National Medal and a big Olympic style ceremony to receive that medal.  To be a finalist puts a name with a face.  College recruits are everywhere and that's what it is all about,  "getting to the next level!"

    • 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." "
