For #9 in this years list of top Sports stories we go to Track and Field and to Branson High School.
Cali Essick had a heck of a meet at this years State Championships. She finished 8th in the 200 meter dash. She was a silver medalist in the long jump. But, it was the triple jump that really made it special. Her leap of 39 feet 4 inches not only made her the Class 5 State Champion it also set the Class 5 State Record.
Essick still has her senior season at Branson High School to complete but her college choice has already been made. She has signed a national letter of intent to continue her education and athletic career at the University of Missouri.
