Welborn 2nd Evans inactive at state in wild weather
At the UIL state track finals in Austin, Sterling's Jackie Welborn placed second in Class 5A discus with a 134-1 personal best. Teammate Tricia Evans sprained an ankle and could not run the 3200 meters as weather delays and field conditions extended the meet. Coach Seale praised Welborn's strong throw amid heavy rain, winds up to 50 mph, and a tornado alert that halted events for six hours at Memorial Stadium.
