Photo by Jeff Steers, JTV Sports. By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Hanover-Horton High School distance runner Judy Rector said she gained her strength and endurance at an early age by working on the family farm. She must have gained her love of horsepower from competing in rodeos until tenth grade. It is paying off for the soon-to-be HHHS graduate. Rector won a pair of event Saturday at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 3 track and field competition at East Jackson High School. She was one of a number of athletes who will advance to the MHSAA state track and field finals on June 1 at various locations throughout the state.
