This is her third National Championship in the last three years. 2007 Intermediate Girl's Long Jump National Champion, 2008 Intermediate Girl's 100m Hurdles National Champion, and now 2009 Young Women's Long Jump National Champion. Congrats A'Lexus keep up the hard work and the good work!!! There are several local athletes participating at JO's this year and the Golden Triangle is represented well. Good Luck to ALL!!!
stang4life Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 First of all, congrats to Miss Brannon. What an awesome accomplishment. Trey Franks ran in the 200m race and placed 4th in his heat. I believe that he placed 15th overall. He will participate in the 100m tomorrow. Any word on Hayden Reed?
cardinalcc Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Trey Franks qualified for the next round of the 100m running a 10.50, Cameron LaCour ran 11.49 and finished last in his heat.

Baller3 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Posted July 31, 2009 A'Lexus only took two jumps in the prelims to place 5th according to the stat sheet. She passed on all of her other attempts. She will run the 100m hurdle prelims on Saturday. Her sister Dominique Brannon placed 8th in the Youth Girl's High Jump. Hayden Reed placed 7th overall in the Intermediate Boy's Discus Throw. Congrats to all!!! To all the Golden Triangle participants; being at USATF Nationals is a great accomplishment and the exposure an athlete receives at Nationals is the reason why so many athletes nationwide attempt to qualify. Nationals is a HUMONGOUS track meet. Top 8 finalists receive a National Medal and a big Olympic style ceremony to receive that medal. To be a finalist puts a name with a face. College recruits are everywhere and that's what it is all about, "getting to the next level!"
