Advancing to state with second-place finishes are Holliday's Konner Wood and Henrietta's Abby Zamzow.

Thompson made sure she took gold in both throwing competitions, following Friday's win in the shot put with gold in the discus. The sophomore threw the disc 123-10, two feet further than anyone else in the competition. 

Wood is also a state qualifier in the discus, clearing 158-6. He was 3 feet, 9 inches shy of first-place finisher Rhett Pennington of Canadian. 

Zamzow won silver in the triple jump to punch her state ticket, clearing 37-8. The winning jump was made by Idalou's Madelyn Merrell at 38-6 1/4. 

Eight area 2A atheltes advance to state

SPRINGTOWN - Munday's Kade Sanders and Kristen Kuehler, Archer City's Kweashad Brooks and Windthorst's Kora Pennartz earned regional track championships Saturday. Now they'll try their hand at winning state.
