AUSTIN – Sanaria Butler enjoyed winning a state medal so much, she snagged two more for good measure. Butler, a Port Neches-Groves senior making her first appearance at the UIL state track and field meet on Friday, stole the show for Southeast Texas athletes while medaling in all three of her events at Mike A. Myers Stadium. Butler's best performance was her first, when she jumped 19 feet, 7.75 inches in the 5A girls long jump. She followed that up in the afternoon with a bronze in the triple jump, then ended the day with a silver medal in the 400-meter dash.
