Trashaun Smith’s track and field career closed on Saturday with two more trips to the medal podium at the KHSAA Class 3A State Meet in Lexington.

The Madisonville-North Hopkins senior began his day alternating between the high jump venue and the triple jump pit.

He finished second in the triple jump at 46-7.5. He was a foot behind the winner, Malcolm Crow of Frederick Douglass.

Smith also took second place in the high jump at 6-4, just two inches off the winner, Aaron Ramey of Central.

Also for the Maroons, Kadence Price threw a personal best 45-10.5 in the shot put to finish in 11^th place.

The 400-meter relay team of Brady Marsh, Louis Ampry, Manny Burrus, and Colin Civils finished in 19^th place in 44.50 seconds.

Smith’s podium visits gave Madisonville 16 points, good for 15^th in the team standings.
