KFDM COOP Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 www.panews.comBC's 'Golden Girls' dazzle at Cardinal RelaysThe Port Arthur News BRIDGE CITY -- Bridge City's 'Golden Girls' encountered their share of good and bad news on Friday night at the 34th annual Cardinal Relays. Senior Christina Jacques and junior Brittany James would have preferred gold rather than silver, yet both standout Bridge City girls distinguished themselves at the annual event held in Larry Ward Stadium. The Golden Triangle's area leader in the high jump, Jacques sustained an upper leg strain during her earlier triple jump competition and opted not to compete in Friday's high jump. Jacques placed second with a distance of 35-4 1/2 in the triple jump. She did not enter the high jump after she favored the tender leg in the mid-afternoon. It was a disappointment for Jacques, who shattered a 23-year-old school record by clearing 5-6 in the high jump at Liberty's Trinity Valley Relays earlier this month. James thankfully avoided injury but also settled for a second-place finish in the 200-meter dash and a third-place finish in the 100 meters. James had one consolation in the sprints, though. The Bridge City junior -- already the area leader in the 100 meters (12.3) -- established a new Golden Triangle area-best in the 200 when she clocked a 27.00 to trail only Anahuac gold medalist Shakita Webb at 26.14. Webb won two events -- the 200 and the triple jump -- and ran the anchor leg on two other gold medal relay teams (the 400- and 800-meter relay) to guide Anahuac to the team title with 154 points in the girls division. Hamshire-Fannett followed in second with 133. Silsbee edged BC for the boys team title, 175-172, with a competitive third-place effort from Orangefield at 97. Silsbee claimed gold medals in seven events while Bridge City notched gold in six of them. Ryan Kelly and Logan Stewart were the Cardinals' lone double winners. The standout senior distance runner Kelly captured wins in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter events. Stewart won the 800-meter run and ran a leg on the victorious 1,600-meter relay squad.
