Time to cheer on Klein's India Alix! She is one of three Americans going for the gold in the long jump at Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium.
Before Klein High School's India Alix starts her senior year, she will take a trip to Cali, Colombia. Not to vacation, but to compete in the U20 World Track Championships.
"Hopefully I can win this thing and come home with one of those giant medals that look so nice," Alix said. "I'm surprised because a lot of kids dream of being on the big screen, but I'm not surprised at the same time because I know I put in a lot of work to get here, and it's not just a miracle," Alix said.
"Her inflight mechanics are so good that all it takes is for her to hit the board at the right speed at the right time, and it's going to be some crazy things happening,'" her jumps coach Frank Mason of Northwest Flyers said.
