Another track meet. Another four first-place finishes for Ciara Gray of Jonesboro-Hodge High School. For the past two track season this has been almost as certain as the sun rising in the east.

Gray’s most recent “quadfecta” was this past Thursday at the Many Raising Cane’s Small School Track Classic held in Robeline, LA. 

Her performance helped Jonesboro-Hodge High School earn a second-place finish in the girls’ competition among the 15 participating schools, while the Quitman High School girls placed 4th.

In the boys’ competition, the two Jackson Parish schools finished on opposite ends, with Quitman coming in second and JHHS finishing fourth. 

Joseph Horton of QHS also won multiple gold medals by taking first place in the boys’ 800 and 1600 meters, with Quitman’s Asher Shultz winning the javelin event, King Campbell of JHHS winning the boys’ 300-meter hurdles, and Lon’Trevious Burns of JHHS taking first in the high jump. 

Both JHHS and Quitman scored gold medals in the relay events as well, with the Lady Tigers winning the 4×100 and 4×200 relays, the QHS boys winning the 4×200, and the Lady Wolverines taking first in the 4×400 relays.
