Ty Chisum re-established himself as a favorite to medal at the 2015 State Track Meet in Austin which will be held May 14th through 16th at the University of Texas at Austin with an amazing personal best of 48 feet two inches eclipsing his best last year of 47' 7 1/2" at last year's state meet.

Not too long ago, Coach Gaby Belmonte was banging around tennis facilities across the whole of South Texas behind a gritty old coach who wanted nothing other than his charges to compete and let their opponents know that whoever laced them up against Eagle Pass was going to know they played a well coached, well prepared squad and this year was no different as now Coach Juarez took her thirty or so participants to the 2015 Border Blast Team Tennis Tournament and came back with gold.

Lelisa Desisa ran through the rain to earn a second Boston Marathon victory and his first chance to enjoy it.
The 25-year-old Ethiopian broke the tape again on Boylston Street on Monday as the world's most prestigious marathon tried to return to its routine two years after Desisa's first Boston win was overshadowed by the twin explosions at the finish line.
"Lelisa did not get to have the kind of victory celebration that a champion of the Boston Marathon should have," Boston Athletic Association spokesman Jack Fleming said, interrupting the post-race news conference to place the champions' trophy at Desisa's side. "Lelisa, we want you to get your due today."
Desisa won the 2013 race just hours before two bombs killed three people and wounded 260 others, turning what should be the pinnacle of any distance runner's career into an afterthought. On Monday, he finished in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 17 seconds to claim a golden olive wreath, the $150,000 first prize and a winner's medal to replace the one he donated to the city in memory of the victims.
"This medal, I think, is for me," said Desisa, who waved to the crowd as he sprinted past the bomb sites. "I took off my hat and started waving my hands because I love the Boston people."
