Tallassee’s Slay wins sectional championship in four events

Submitted Photo / For the Tribune Tallassee’s Kayden Slay poses with four gold medals around his neck. The senior won the sectional championship in the 110 hurdles, high jump, long jump, and triple jump.

Tallassee track and field coach Danny Worley knew Kayden Slay could be a multi-event medalist, but Slay jumped way past Worley’s expectations this weekend.

In the AHSAA Class 5A, Section 2 track meet this weekend at Smiths Station High School, Slay won the gold medal in four separate events to qualify for the state championship in each event.
