    O’Dowd senior Tierra Robinson-Jones has splendid double at track championships

    CLOVIS, Fresno County — Down the final stretch at Buchanan High School, Tierra Robinson-Jones could hear the crowd roaring.

    Out of the corner of her eye, the Bishop O’Dowd-Oakland senior could see El Toro’s Maliyah Medley gaining.

    “I told myself, ‘Just go faster and faster,’” Robinson-Jones said. “‘Hurry up and get to the line. You have 10 meters left.’ … And then I crossed. I saw my time. I was happy.”

    Robinson-Jones was thrilled to finally break through and win her first state 400-meter title in 52.37 seconds, a personal best and the second-fastest time in the country.

    But the Texas A&M-bound runner was just getting started.
