McCallie’s T.J. Kemp has become the first player from Tennessee to be named to the Under Armour All-America lacrosse team.
One of eight All-Americans who has signed with North Carolina, Kemp will have an opportunity to play in the fifth annual Under Armour All-America Classic on July 3 at Towson University in Maryland. He’s on the 22-player Boys’ South roster that includes 13 Maryland residents. Others are from Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey and North Carolina.
Jackson qualifies
Howard sophomore LaQuisha Jackson qualified for four track and field events, and possibly a fifth, at next week’s Spring Fling. Jackson won the 100- and 200-meter sprint events and ran the anchor leg on the first-place 4×100 and 4×200 relay teams at Monday’s Class A/AA sectional at Sullivan North.
The top two finishers in each event automatically qualify for next week’s state meet in Murfreesboro, and those outside the top two in each event could claim at-large spots if their finishes are better than those from other qualifying meets throughout the state.
