LUBBOCK – Brownwood junior Ike Hall became the school’s second UIL Class 4A track and field state championships qualifier Friday morning as he captured the gold medal in the Region I-4A boys triple jump.

Hall, who also won the District 6-4A and 5-4A/6-4A area meet championships in the triple jump, finished first Friday at Lowrey Field with a best leap of 45-6.5.
