....the scoreless streak of the ladies CV track team at State is over.
Natasha had an awesome day. She beat her mark, tied for 4th, set a new PR (5'4"), and hit all of her first jumps until her PR height. Not to mention she had an awesome final attempt at 5'5". These are all the things we ask of athletes, and are tough to do, but Natasha nailed all of them. I have no doubt her experience at the state meet last year enabled her to do this today.
A lot went into this performance. Thanks, Natasha, for having the perfect mindset for today. Thank you, Coach Smith for being at my side giving suggestions for heights Natasha should jump at. I'd also like to thank all of the CV track athletes that gathered to support her; your fandom was hugely important to Natasha today. I love to see you guys rallying around each other.
In other news. Our boys 4x100m is onto the finals. After one of the members of the team failed to show up, they overcame and ran a great race on their way to a new school record and a trip to the finals. You can check them out tomorrow in that final race at 3:35pm.
Also coming up tomorrow...
Nick Stalzer in the 5A Boys Triple Jump @ 8:30am
Tanner Townsend in the 5A Boys 100m finals @ 10:45am, and the 200m finals @ 1:40pm
Other than our athletes there will be lots of awesome performances to check out, so come on and support the Sabercats.
