Dominique Maloy of Pahrump Valley High School was third in the 400-meter dash and second in the long jump at the Great Southwest Track Classic, contested earlier this month at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

Maloy, a 15-time Nevada state champion in a brilliant career at PVHS, ran the 400 in 0:54.87, in a race won in 0:53.74 by Erica Alexander of Friendswood, Texas. Natalie Stewart of Spanish Fork, Utah, was second in 0:53.71.

In the long jump, Maloy soared 18 feet, 10 inches, to finish behind A'Lexus Brannon of Texas, who cleared 19 feet, 2 inches.

Maloy ran the opening leg for Nevada's 4x100-meter relay team that finished seventh in 0:48.41. Maloy had a big lead, but the second runner came up lame and dropped the Silver State quartet out of contention.
