We can wish that Kayleigh Coulson is a freshman …

The more interesting story is that both the one and two seeds in both events came from the same regional. Who says we didn’t have a tough regional? Probably nobody. Hurdles, high jump, pole vault, all tough.

Girls Finish 3rd to Williamston and Frankenmuth at Team States

Well, not quite the finish we wanted. We were so close to a second runner-up banner (not that we have seen the first one yet …). We had an unfortunate fall in the hurdles that took Abby Ostrowski out of the hurdles and ultimately the pole vault as well. It was little […]

When to Lean - Lessons from the CETL Meet
