Truitt heading to state
Monitor Staff Reports
COMMERCE–Out of more than three dozen area athletes who qualified for the Region II
Class 3A track meet last weekend, only two – Eustace senior Chelsea Truitt and Kemp
junior Sharda Bettis – qualified for the state track meet, set June 5-6 in Austin.
For Bettis, it’s a return trip, as she advanced to state last year as a sophomore. 
Bettis actually qualified for the regional meet in five different events – the 100
hurdles, 300 hurdles, the long jump, the triple jump and as a member of the girls 4x100
relay team.
Bettis won the 100 hurdles in 14.63 seconds, but finished third in the 300 hurdles,
clocking 46.84 seconds, .03 of a second behind second-place Shamber Isom of Atlanta.
Meagen Burgess of Kennedale won the event in 45.55 seconds.
She finished eighth in the long jump, leaping 16-10¾, and was 10th in the triple jump,
leaping 22-5¼.
The Kemp 4x100 relay team (Amanda Lawrence, Michelle Ritterbach, Meagan Lacy and Bettis)
finished 12th in the preliminaries, and did not advance to the finals.
It’ll be a first trip to state for Truitt, who has qualified for five events at the
regional track meet as a freshman, sophomore and junior.
As a senior, Truitt qualified for regional in four different events – the pole vault,
finishing second to Bettis in the 100 hurdles, and running a leg in both the 4x100 and 800
meter relay teams.
In the pole vault competition at the district meet, Truitt dueled with Wills Point’s
Jessica Smith, as both of them tied at 10-6, with Truitt getting the nod as first on the
basis of fewer misses.
Friday at the regional meet, Truitt vaulted a personal best and new school record 11-3,
tying her with Jessica Bonfield of Argyle, who got the top spot on the basis of fewer
misses.
Argyle’s Jessie Johnson was third at 11-0, while Smith again cleared 10-6 to finish
fourth.
In the 100 hurdles, Truitt finished ninth in the preliminaries, clocking 16.65, and missed
the finals.
Eustace’s sprint relay team of Felischa Bacziewicz, Catania Grant, Cassie Freeman and
Truitt, finished 12th in the preliminaries and did not advance to the finals.
Similarly, the Eustace 800 meter relay team (Bacziewicz, Grant, Hallie Mathis and Truitt)
set a new school record of 1:49.7, but also finished 12th in the preliminaries.
