Klondike girl West wins state 100 meter hurdles title
West, daughter of Bill West, captured Klondike’s first state track crown since 1977 by winning the 100 meter hurdles in 14.3 seconds at the Class I-A state meet in Austin. Coach Kouitz praised her rapid start and noted she narrowly missed the 400 meter gold, finishing one tenth of a second behind Angela Polk. West’s breakthrough comes as Klondike’s first state champion since 1969 basketball title by the Cougarettes, while other track peers, including Ricky Webb and Tim Cope, faced regional events with mixed results for the Cougars.
