Jonesboro-Hodge High School has a long history of producing top female track and field athletes. Going back nearly half a century to the days Clotee Cowans dominated the sprints, long jump and triple jump in the late 1970’s and early 80’s to more recently when Kaprecia “Shy” Cowans did the same, JHHS has been the home to the truly “special” ones.  

Don’t look now, but apparently Ciara Grey is now poised to add her name to the legacy of great achievers as on Wednesday, March 23rd she won three gold medals and a silver to pace JHHS to a 3rd place finish in the Mangham Relays. 

It was in the field that Gray won first place in the long jump and triple jump, while taking first on the track in the 300 meter hurdles and second in the 100 meter hurdles. 

The Lady Tigers also got a tremendous effort from Sanaa Tatum who earned points in four events. Included was a second place finish in the long jump, placing third in the triple jump and finishing in 5th in the 100 meter dash. She also ran a leg along with Jalalai Amos, Ric’Kya Bryant, and Zu’Wy’Neshya Johnson in the 4×200 meter relay team that finished in 3rd place. Johnson also added a 4th place finish in the 200 meter dash.
