Corrigan Sweeps Austin

by Ryan Peterson

The Corrigan Bulldogs were entered in just three events at the state track meet.  The Bulldogs still finished fifth in the overall taem standings.

Corrigan didn't waste a single event.  Kameron Horace, Damien Horace, Chase Ford and Chris Drayton won the 4 by 400 meter relay.  Kamaron Horace also won the 200 meter dash and took 4th in the long jump.

"It's like a state championship football game with a lot of people coming behind and saying congratulations and stuff," Horace says.

The Lady Bulldogs only shot at a medal was a freshman.  Samantha Taylor won the shot put.

"Oh my gosh, it's amazing," Taylor says.

"I've never been a state champion," Drayton says.  "To see something like that come out of Corrigan it felt real good."
