Getting your player ready...
Bonnie Richardson ran. She threw. She jumped. And when it was time to hand out the team trophies, Richardson accepted the 1A team championship for Rochelle (Texas) High School — by herself. Richardson was the only Rochelle athlete to qualify for the state meet, and stunningly won the team title. Richardson’s title march began Friday when she won the high jump (5 feet, 5 inches), placed second in the long jump (18-7) and was third in the discus (121-0). Saturday, she won the 200 meters in 25.03 seconds and finished second (12.19) in the 100. Richardson, a junior, earned a total of 42 team points to edge team runner-up Chilton (36).
