Daywalt one to watch

Mooresville's girls won their third Iredell County track and field championship in four years on Tuesday at Lake Norman High School.

The Blue Devils' victory wasn't as one-sided as the clinic the Mooresville boys team put on, but their 154 points bested second-place Statesville by 17 points.

Perhaps overshadowed by Mooresville's day was another stellar performance by Statesville pole vaulter Jordan Daywalt, who catapulted and cleared a bar set at 11 feet. Fittingly, her name is "Jordan" because the hangtime this young lady is manufacturing rivals anything "His Airness" ever accomplished.

I will be writing a story on Daywalt for Thursday's edition of the R&L. The junior is becoming quite the high-riser. Her ability in the pole vault could take her to the top of the charts in the state recordbook. She's already knocking on the door.
