Ex-Eagle earns state track spots

PECOS, May 12 -- Although the Pecos Eagles failed to get any of their 11 competitors at the Region I-4A Track and Field meet to the state track finals in Austin, a former Eagle will be at the state meet, competing in four events for the Class 3A Rusk Eagles.

Senior Tamika Gardner qualified for state individually in the long jump and triple jump, with first and second place finishes at the Region III-3A meet, and as a member of the 1600 and 400 meter relay squads, which also placed first and second at regionals.

Former Pecos Eagles' girls basketball coach Larnce Gardner is head track coach at Rusk, where his daughter has qualified for state each of the past three years, after competing for Pecos in her freshman year at high school. Tamika won the long jump with a 17-8¬ effort, and was second in the triple jump with a 36-foot-9 leap.

She's tied for sixth seed in the long jump, going into this weekend's state meet at the new Michael Myers Stadium on the University of Texas campus, and is seeded seventh in the triple jump. Rusk is seeded fifth in the 400 meter relay and fourth in the 1600 meters.
