Almost 200 athletes from 2A girls division competed, just to give you an idea of the magnitude of the race. Region 1, and especially our district are notoriously called the district of doom, and I cannot emphasize the pride that gives me in each of our athletes both Ysa for advancing and competing and our other athletes who stayed home. We ended our season for our teams with over 60% hitting a personal best by quite a bit, so it is hard to stay home when you know you’ve improved by leaps and bounds throughout the year.
Ysa competed like the incredible athlete that she is at regionals running a 14:17 and finishing 69th place out of 173 kids. She has had an outstanding career and lead the team well by her experience, work ethic and her commitment. I look forward to seeing what she accomplishes in track this spring- as she pointed out “it’s track season now!”
