State track: Washington Wins 3 Medals, Leads Cavs To 3rd Place

AUSTIN — College Park senior Connor Washington won three medals, including two golds, to help the Cavaliers to a third-place finish in the Class 6A boys division at the UIL Track & Field Championships on Saturday at the University of Texas' Mike A. Myers Stadium.

Washington won the 200 meters with a time of 20.39 seconds and anchored the College Park 4x400 relay team to a blazing 3 minutes, 13.37 seconds, claiming the state title by more than two seconds. Washington also finished second by hair in the 100 as he and Harlingen's Jose Garcia had to go to a thousandths of a second tiebreaker. Garcia edged Washington 9.998 to 9.999 seconds.

Still, Washington had a hand in all 38 of College Park's points, propelling the Cavaliers to the team podium, just two points shy of second-place Cedar Hill. Humble Summer Creek won with 54 points.

The Woodlands senior Joshua English won a state title in the boys 800, crossing the line in 1:50.59, more than a second and a half faster than the runner-up.

The Woodlands senior Kennedy Doakes made the podium twice, claiming a state title in the girls high jump with a leap of 5 feet, 9 inches and coming in third in the triple jump with a mark of 39-5.

The Woodlands scored 18 points and finished 10th as a team.
