DAY ONE TRACK RESULTS | District track continues today, but here are some Wed. results

Braydon Nelson, who was second in the discus at the Texas Relays last weekend, is putting that arm to good use for the Kilgore High School Bulldogs in their district meet.

Kilgore, competing in the District 17-4A meet at Spring Hill High School in Longview, got a first-place finish from Nelson on Wednesday in the shot put, a best of 55 feet, 11 ½ inches.

His teammate, Cameron Christian, finished fourth (48 feet, 2 inches).

Nelson, the current Whataburger / ETBlitz.com Boys Player of the Week for what he accomplished at the University of Texas in Austin (NELSON, LOFTIS & STEVENS | It’s not a law firm; they’re the Whataburger / ETBlitz Players of the Week!), will compete again Thursday, as will the rest of the district teams, at Spring Hill as the track meet concludes.

In other results from Wednesday:

  • Luciano Brizuela of Kilgore finished second in the 3,200, or two-mile, run in the time of 10 minutes, 22.80 seconds, and teammate Samuel Warren (11:22.20) was sixth.
  • Kilgore’s Maddison Harris was fourth in the girls shot put (33 feet, even).
  • Henderson’s Gissele Alejandro was first in the two-mile run (12 minutes, 4.23 seconds).

  • Marvalous Jacobs was fourth for the Lions in the girls triple jump (35 feet, 3 ½ inches).
  • Brailon Walker was sixth in the long jump (21 feet, 1 ½ inches).

Teams in the district, in addition to Kilgore, Henderson and Spring Hill, are Gilmer, Chapel Hill, Center, and Carthage.

In White Oak, three ETBlitz.com-area schools are competing in the District 15-3A meet: White Oak, of course, along with Sabine and Gladewater, and the rest of that district, Daingerfield, New Diana, and Hughes Springs.

It also continues on Thursday.

Results from day one:
