Joplin Globe, 5/4/11
Taitum Mead of Carl Junction won
four events Tuesday in the Big 8 Conference track meet. Mead, a
senior, won the 100 hurdles, her two field events- the triple
jump and the long jump - then finished her performance by coming
in just ahead of teammate Brittney Rose in the 300 hurdles. "It
was what I've been working for all ear," Mead said. "We work
together along with our boy hurdlers." The CJ Girls won the
Conference Meet in good fashion - CJ 143, Cassville 102, Monett
87, Aurora 78, Lamar 77, East Newton 40, Seneca 20, and Mount
Vernon 7.
Carl Junction's boys were led by
winning the 4x100 and 4x200 meter relays with a team of Matt
McGee, Dustin Satterlee, Kai Ducre, and Nick Thompson. Ducre
placed second in the triple jump and fourth in the long jump.
"We set our personal best today in the 4x200," he said. "I'm
excited. I think we're going to be really good this year." The
CJ Boys edged out Lamar for the 2011 conference title - CJ 99.5
points, Lamar 95.3, Cassville 89.5, Mount Vernon 63, Aurora 63,
East Newton 57, Monett 48.5, and Seneca 42.5.
