Sorge finishes 5th

[Harry]

ABILENE Fifth-place finishes were a frequent occurrence among city athletes Saturday at the Region I-4A Meet.

Rider senior shot putters Maira Guerrero and Harrison Sorge finished their high school careers in fifth at McMurry University.

Then a pair of juniors Riders Ty Branch and Wichita Falls High Schools Korie Robinson came in fifth in the 110 hurdles and 200, respectively.

Branch ran a 14.93 in his race, while Robinson posted a 22.12. Both will have opportunities to improve on those results next season.

Sorge, who will head to the University of North Texas for football in July, enjoyed his second regional meet even though it didnt end with a state berth. His best throw came on his first attempt, a 51-10 ¾.

Its a good experience, and Im glad I made it, but I wish I could have thrown farther, Sorge said. I didnt have much of a groove going, and I wish I could have been more consistent throughout the year.
