Two champions from Class A state track

Admiral Farragut Academy's Josh Burch and Calvary Christian's Joe Cathey each won state titles at the Class A meet in Winter Park.

Burch, a sophomore, won the long jump with a leap of 22 feet, 8 1/4 inches on his second to last attempt. He also took second in the triple jump 44-9 1/2 on his last attempt.

Cathey capped off his career with his first state title in the 3,200 meters. The senior surged ahead in the final 150 meters to win in 9 minutes, 26 seconds.

Tampa Prep's boys 4x800 relay was second in a school record 8:13. Shorecrest's Samantha Specht was second in the triple jump (36-1 1/2) and 400 (58.65). She also was fourth in the 200 (26.39) and fifth in the long jump (16-10).
