Edgar Poe certainly made the meet exciting....... Edgar took the lead on his last jump of the long jump competition. He jumped 22-3 (NEW SCHOOL RECORD) only to see two other boys jump a little father. He was a strong 3rd place. And then came the 110 hurdles....His race (which tied his PR and School record) and dive across the line were certainly championship quality. He came across at the same time as his CDO counterpart. He was 2nd by 3 100ths of a second (.03) Ashley Groves defended her 2010 State Title in the Pole Vault with another great performance under pressure. A STATE CHAMPION in every sense of the word. Back to Back State Champion. (You can see 2 pics of Ashley and Edgar in the online AZ Star article attached. Look in related galleries) Each had a pic in the paper and that was cool to see. http://azstarnet.com/sports/article_347e58c4-360d-5a7d-94ea-2e5e71f530e0.html Brianna Rodriquez was the 2011 STATE CHAMPION in the Long Jump with a dominating performance that didn't see another competitor within a foot of her. She jumped 18-9 Before last year we had yet to have a single state champion.... and now we have 3 State Championship performances. Other notable performances........ Isaac Jones placed 7th in a stacked 100m field. And after along meet Edgar gutted out a 5th place in the triple jump. Our Girls 4x8 (Nikki Regalado, Robyn Tolin, Vicki Tozer and Chantel Coon) placed an amazing 8th place. Girls 4x4 (Chantel Coon, Katie Sprunt, Ashley Groves and Brianna Rodriquez) finished off the meet in style. They ran 4:09.46........6 seconds faster than the previous school record......They finished in 11th place. Everyone associate with our school and program should be proud at how well our athletes represented themselves, our school and their family. IT WAS A GREAT DAY TO BE A BOBCAT!!!!! http://azstarnet.com/sports/article_347e58c4-360d-5a7d-94ea-2e5e71f530e0.html |
