Marshall senior Meelun McCray was on the Class 3A state championship girls basketball team in March. Now, two months later, McCray is hopping on a bus to go Downstate again, but this time it's for track. McCray qualified in the 200-meter dash last Friday at the Fenwick sectional.
This is the third trip to a state finals for McCray. She went to state with the chess team and the basketball team and now track. McCray also runs cross-country, so it's obvious she likes to keep herself busy and is a dedicated young woman.
Marshall coach Dorothy Gaters told me that McCray not only is ending her senior year with a state appearance in track, but she's also headed to Beijing for this summer's Olympics as a volunteer.
