By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (April 30, 2023 8:22 PM ET) Sometimes in golf it is better to be lucky than good. Jackson area golfer Conor Spencer was both on Sunday. The Wayne State University golfer shot a 3-under-par 69 to win the Spring Thaw Golf Tournament at Cascades Golf Course by four shots. He finished the two-day tournament at 140.  Brian Cook finished at even par 144 for second place, Steve Maddalena shot 147 to claim third place, Andrew Tindall and Jacob Malcangi tied for fourth place shooting 148s, and Bret Valkuchak and Mike Brockie tied for sixth place at 149. Spencer dominated the par 5s shooting 8-under-par on the four longest holes during the tournament. Sunday he got a bit lucky on No. 6, earning an eagle with a punch shot from trouble.

Johnson Follows in Hurdling Legacy at JHS

By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (April 30, 2023 8:00 AM ET) Jackson High School hurdler Keiyera Johnson has enjoyed a bit of a legacy while attending JHS. Johnson’s grandfather, Warren, was a well-known hurdler. Here brother, Keigel, also participated in hurdling events at Jackson.

Now the JHS senior would like to make a name for herself. Johnson won the Southeastern Conference White Division title in the 300-meter hurdles a year ago. She would like to make an appearance in the Division 1 state finals the first week in June. She is taking some long strides to get there. Despite being 5 feet, 1 inch tall, Johnson has learned to three-set the 100-meter hurdles.  “They are very big steps, but a started three-stepping last year and began running some of my best times,” Johnson said. “I have to concentrate on using my legs and strength.” Johnson started hurdling in sixth grade because her brother was involved in hurdles.
