MARTINSBURG—The social hall at Destiny Baptist Church was filled Monday with those celebrating and honoring June 19, now known as Juneteenth Freedom Day.
The Jefferson City Lady Jays’ 4x400-meter relay team of Seleena Morris, Cheria Galbreath, Victoria Smith and Riley Schonhardt had their sights set on a state title this season after falling just short with a second-place finish a year ago.
It was the same story again Saturday on the final day of the Class 4 track and field state championships at Adkins Stadium, as the foursome led for the entire race until Ladue’s team erased a big deficit to stun the Lady Jays right before the finish line.
There was no panic. “I have enough confidence in my players that even if we fall behind, we would be able to come back,” Helias coach Jon DeSha said Wednesday night after the Lady Crusaders defeated the Jefferson City Lady Jays 4-1 in Central Missouri Activities Conference soccer action at the Crusader Athletic Complex.
