JEFFERSON — North Hall’s Luis Gonzalez was among a group of three runners leading the pack in the state finals of the 3200-meter run at the Georgia Olympics on Friday at Jefferson Memorial Stadium. He was running second behind St. Pius X’s Austin Sprague for nearly the entire race until taking over the lead in the sixth lap. With 700 meters remaining, however, Preston Jones of Columbus High took over first, and Gonzalez knew he’d have to put it into high gear.
