STROUD - Sallisaw's Tasha Shockey brought home a gold medal on Tuesday as the Lady Diamond and Black Diamond tracksters competed at the Stroud meet.

Shockey, who qualified for the state meet last spring as a freshman, took first place in the shot put competition. Her throw of 36 feet, three inches edged the runnerup by five inches. Sallisaw teammate Amy Smith also placed in the event, taking fifth with a throw of 31-11.

Shockey also competed in the discus and took sixth place with an effort of 85 feet, 10 inches.

The Lady Diamonds tallied 19 team points with the remainder earned by freshman Meghan Smith in the long jump and 400-meter dash. Smith ran 1:05.01 to get fifth in the 400 and she jumped 13 feet, 10 inches to get fifth in that event.

The Sallisaw girls finished 13th in the team standings. Coalgate won the girls' championship with 110 points. Oklahoma City Millwood won three relay events to grab second with 107 and Chandler was third with 56.

The Sallisaw boys finished 10th overall with 18 team points, 16 of which were earned in two relay events.
