Fort Worth Dunbar senior Victoria Jordan was part of two record-breaking victories Friday in the girls 4A state meet.

Jordan said she surprised herself with a state-record time of 11.16 in the 100-meter run. The previous record of 11.21 was set by Killeen's Tiffany Townsend last year. Jordan's mark was just shy of Marion Jones' National Federation of State High School Association record of 11.14 set in 1992.

"I was happy that I broke the record," Jordan said. "I trained real hard on all my events. But this right here? I don't know."

Jordan, Crystalyne Clark, Ashley Collier and Shantel Miles ran the 4x200 in 1:36.17, which broke the 4A record of 1:36.38 set by Lancaster in 2004. Dunbar's victory also snapped Lancaster's string of four consecutive state-meet victories in the event.

Big day for HP senior: Highland Park senior Patrick Todd edged Lancaster's Howard Shepard, the 2007 Class 5A champion, to win the 800 meters in boys 4A in 1:55.14. Shepard finished in 1:55.48.

Todd, a Texas signee, had lost the 2007 race by four-hundredths of a second and refused to be denied this time.

"The race went out a lot slower than we all expected this year at about 60 seconds, so I knew we were going to have a quick last lap," Todd said.

"Howard started pushing me at about 250 [meters] to 200 to go, and my strategy was to stay on his tail and bust it in the last 75 to 50 meters. We came out of the backstretch, the crowd got into it, and it was an amazing atmosphere."

McKinney North's Ganter is solid: McKinney North senior Stephanie Ganter placed second in the Class 4A 3,200-meter race with a time of 11:06.52; she was third in the 1,600 at 5:04.69.

Ganter, a Stephen F. Austin signee, is a four-time state qualifier in cross country but was making her debut at the UIL state track meet.

Her strategy in the 3,200 turned out to be relatively successful.

"It was definitely going slow the first couple of laps, drafting off the wind and hanging on at the end, which worked out more or less," Ganter said.
