Left: As Edgar's Tessa Thurs and Markesan sophomore Karina Elford made the final turn in the 2012 300m LH finals there was not a lot of fuel left in their tanks. However track athletes are special and know what it is to give more when 'more' is on empty.
Thurs completed her high school hurdle career in grand style sweeping the LH and HH events for the second year in a row.
Elford gave the defending champion a very competitive race finishing less than a second behind Thurs to take the Silver Medal in the 300m LH race.
