Cookeville Senior Stockton Owen finished the Decathlon portion of the Track and Field season last week with a second-place overall finish at the State Meet.

Owen finished first overall in the Triple Jump, Shot Put and Long Jump events, and finished second in the Discus and High Jump. All of this was good enough for a second-place finish on the podium.

For the week, Owen leads the First Bank First Team.
