Tyron Goodley saved his best for last Sunday at the 2021 LHSAA State Indoor Track and Field Championships.
Heading into the final round in the triple jump, Goodley sat in third place with one attempt remaining.

Thaddeus Campbell of Lake Charles Charter Academy, who was leading entering the final round, finished third with a mark of 41-7 1/4.
Goodley also hit the podium in the long jump with a runnerup mark of 21-5 1/2. Murphy won the event with a jump of 22-7 3/4 and Madison Prep’s Brian Chatman was third
Crowley High’s Sophia Fontenot also competed in the state meet and finished eighth in the high jump with a leap of 4-6 3/4.
Church Point’s Olivia Bundy also earned a podium spot with a runnerup finish in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.82.
Midland’s 4x800-meter relay team of Phoenix Robinson, Lance Hoffpauier, Copeland Schwinn and Cole Shamsie finished sixth with a time of 9:28.75 — a school record.
