As a freshman, Kinsey Gomez shocked the State 5A meet field by knocking off

to beat reigning state champ Liz Brandon of Eagle by more than 33 seconds
Saturday afternoon. Gomez and Brandon were neck and neck through the first of two
loops before Gomez sprinted from the pack/Greg Lee, Sportslink. More here.
