One week after Farmersville sophomore Amare Warren broke the school record in the boys’ triple jump by three feet, he made another leap for gold during last Thursday’s area 13-4A/14-4A meet in Paris.
Although Warren didn’t break his own record, he delivered another dominating performance, winning the area title in the triple jump with a lead of 47-feet, 7.5 inches.
Overall, Warren qualified for this week’s Region II-4A meet in three events. He added a second-place finish in the long jump with a leap of 21-1.5 and ran to silver as a leg on the boys’ 4×100. Owen Gates, Drake Grimes and Gordon Swartz ran on the 4×100 with Warren.
Junior Ethan Stone was the area runner-up in the boys’ 400-meter dash, clocking a time of 50.50 seconds.
The boys’ 4×400 of Swartz, Stone, Grimes and Emilio Meza is bound for regionals after they captured second place with a time of 3:27.62.
Fellow sophomore Ameera Warren set the tone for the Farmersville girls.
She won the area title in the 200 dash with a time of 25.87 seconds.
Sophomore Breelynn Pollard ran to third place in the girls’ 3,200 in a time of 12:28.47 and added a fourth-place finish in the 1,600 with a 5:44.16.
Junior Jachael Pearson took fourth in the triple jump with a leap of 33-feet even.
Junior Katelynn McRay qualified for the regional meet in the pole vault, recording a height of 8-0, good for fourth place.
