I don't know if I'm exaggerating with the headline, but I don't think I am. Here's the deal, Rochelle High School (Texas) track and field star (and that's a modest term) Bonnie Richardson was the only member of her team to qualify for the state track and field championships. Well, she had a pretty successful showing at the championships and won the TEAM championships by herself.
"Bonnie Richardson of Rochelle High School scored 42 team points to win the Texas 1A track title.
Richardson was the only Rochelle athlete to qualify for the state meet and stunningly won the team title. University Interscholastic League officials said it was the first time they can remember a single athlete winning a girls' team title."

Apparently this has been done before on the boys side. Frank Pollard did it in the 1970's, before he went onto play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So maybe Richardson can parlay this performance into an NFL career...then again...
