Vinson’s state title signals the first time a Madill High School performer has won an individual state championship since the Madill boys 4x400 relay team of Asa Roberston, Costa Chambers, Dylan Parnacher and Trevor Goff were crowned champs in 2018. Brandon Serrano also was part of that ‘Cats’ relay squad in that season. Vinson’s was the first state championship won by an individual person since Miranda Nolen won the 3200m run in 2014. Vinson’s gold is the 67^th individual track event state title. 

The Madill boys 4x800 relay team of Ryder Douglas, Jose Campos, Ben Hernandez, and Mayur Patel finished fifth Friday.

Luciana Douglass placed eighth in the girls long jump.

Yadira Barbosa was 10^th in the 3200m run. Tyce Pruitt was 10^th in the discus and the boys 4x400 relay was 12^th. Codie Shaw was 15^th in the 100m hurdles.
