MISSION, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Chukwubueze Ikondu’s journey to the State meet spanned more than 6,000 miles and an opportunity in the U.S.

The Sharyland senior qualified for the State meet in the discus. Ikondu set the Sharyland school record with a throw of 193.2 feet at the Area meet two weeks ago.

“After the district meet, we thought at area, let's hit 180,” said R.C. de la Fuente, Sharyland throws coach. “Then, he threw that 193 at regionals, and I was like, wow.”
