CONCORD â The mission was complete: Chaunesse Barringer was a state champion.
Better than that, the Northwest Cabarrus junior was now a state record-holder, having won the 3A girls long jump title by flying a classification-best 19 feet, 1 inch at the N.C. High School Athletic Association track & field championships at Greensboroâs N.C. A&T State University Saturday.
âShe was just ecstatic,â recalled Northwest Cabarrus track coach Tyrone Pierce. âShe had the big olâ smile on her face. She said, âI did it, Coach! I did it! Iâm state champ!ââ
Now, it was all about the celebration, which, as is customary, included lots of pictures. So Barringer smiled widely as she stood in the center of the humungous stadium and posed like a pro.
