Bonnie Richardson runs track for little Rochelle High School, in addition to playing basketball and tennis.

Over the weekend, Bonnie competed in the Texas 1A state track & field championship. In fact, Bonnie was the only one from her team to qualify for state. I wonder if they let her drive the bus?

Richardson competed in only five events (the most allowable by Texas’ University Interscholastic League), but the 42 team points were the highest score accumulated by any other school. From ESPN.COM:

Richardson’s title march began with field events on 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).

On Saturday, she won the 200 meters in 25.03 seconds and nearly pulled off a huge upset in the 100 before finishing second (12.19) to defending champion Kendra Coleman of Santa Anna. Richardson, a junior, earned a total of 42 team points to edge team runner-up Chilton (36).

The events being split up over two days certainly helped; Richardson admitted to being worn out after accepting the team trophy — alone. Next weekend she’ll go to the prom by herself and be named King and Queen. Hey, she’s versatile.
