COACH’S COMMENTS

To say that this was a great meet (and season) for us would be an understatement. The last time we placed this high at State, Coach Pettigrew and Coach Rangel were new fathers, Coach Trujillo had never heard of Davenport, and Coach Bhave was wearing diapers! We came into the meet hoping to score a few points more than last year’s 7 points (17^th place), and went into the final day of competition in 8^th place! Most impressive of all was that in our 12 events we had 9 season- or lifetime-bests! Those who didn’t get a SB or PR were within a couple of ticks of their best. This shows (once again) how tough each of you competed, and how you rose to the challenge of the biggest meet of the year. We had no dropped batons, no false starts, and no one succumbed to the pressure of the big stage. All of your teammates and coaches are proud of everything you accomplished!

A couple of you deserve special recognition. First, TaShyia showed herself to be a tremendous teammate in two ways. When Cassie couldn’t compete, TaShyia stepped up and ran a solid leg on our 4x200. (If only the head coach had used his brain and switched the order and had her run leadoff we would’ve run faster, but that’s the coach’s fault not any of the athletes’.) The next day when her hamstring was a little tender, TaShyia graciously stepped aside rather than risk hurting the team by pulling up in the race, and gave Shivonne a crack at a second race at State.

The other special recognition goes, of course, to our first State Champion in 21 years! Christina popped the big one when it mattered most, and turned the tables on her fellow competitor from Clinton. Most impressive of all, though, was that Christina was as gracious in victory as she had been in defeat at Drake and MAC. Whether you finish in first place or last, the experience of competition is what you remember long after your days as an athlete are finished. It was a thrill watching each of you go through that experience at this meet and all season!
