As coaches we are very proud of these 2 girls today. They may not have advanced to the finals on Saturday, but as freshman, this experience is invaluable. 5 of their teammates came up to support them today. This also helped fuel their talks about what they need to do to go up there next year as many of them were very close this year at Sectionals. Danika was nervous as she had a special moment to be the very first athlete at the state finals to start the events with her first jump. That is a lot of pressure for anyone but she fought the nerves and landed 3 qualifying jumps with no scratches. Great job Danika! Aleyda placed 23rd out of 45 runners after coming in ranked 30th out of 45 with a 12.86. 13 spots out of making finals on Saturday. Great job Aleyda! Preparation for next season starts Tuesday in the weight room for weights, plyos and speed work with Coach Cruthis from 8-9:30am. Let's get to work!

Greyhound girls track team had a very good day at the IHSA Sectional meet in Nashville. Aleyda Bennett won the 100m dash and Danika Toth placed 2nd in the long jump which earned them both a spot at the IHSA State Finals Meet next Thursday at Eastern Illinois University! Overall the team placed 6th out of 17 teams with 50 points. Every athlete had a personal or season record in all but 3 events today. That means the girls finished the season as you would hope they would... giving their best effort after almost 3 months of hard work. Great job ladies and coaches! Special Shout out to our foreign exchange student Leonie Boucard who ran her last race tonight in the United States and she set a personal record. Great job Leonie, we will miss you. Also a special shout out to Senior Quameshia Coates who will graduate tomorrow, we will miss you Meshia!
