His shot at a fourth state championship seemingly slipping away, Male High School junior Justin Green mustered the energy for one final kick.

Having already captured the 100-, 200- and 400-meter titles, Green relinquished the lead for a few seconds but then kicked his 1,600-relay team to victory and capped another banner day for the Bulldogs' track and field team.

Green won the 100 in 10.82 seconds, the 200 in 21.82 and the 400 in 48.95 and still had something left for the 1,600 relay -- the final event of the day.

After Tony Booker, Lewis Dodson and Kieran Story teamed to give Male the lead, Green briefly gave it away to Manual and Henry Clay with about 200 meters to go.

"I was drained, but I always try to save a little for the end," Green said. "It's all strategy."

Green regained the lead after the final turn and gave the Bulldogs a finishing time of 3:20.95. Henry Clay (3:21.47) was second, and Manual (3:21.81) was third.
