Northside junior Andrew Harding earned his first medal at the state 1A track and field meet at the North Carolina A&T track in Greensboro Monday.

Harding finished fourth in the 1600 meters, completing the four laps in 4:23.83 and was sixth in the 3200 in 10:25.69. He was fifth in both events last year and posted a faster time in the 1600 this year.

“I had been sick all week and knew I wasn’t going to outkick anybody, so I decided to get the lead from the gun and hold it for as long as I could,” Harding said. “It worked for the first 1,000 meters, then three guys passed
me on the last lap. I’m happy with my time and thought I put up a good fight considering how bad I had been feeling.”
