Once again it was your typical day in the panhandle of Texas - 89 degrees and 30mph winds with an occasional 40+mph gust. The girls fought the competition and the wind for every place, every mark, every time. The top 4 finishers advance to the Regional Track Meet at Abilene Christian University on April 27 and 28, 2018. The Tigerette Team finished as the 2018 Area Runner-up. The results are as follows: Long Jump 2nd - Quanasia McDaniel Triple Jump 2nd - Ta'kaja Robinson 3rd - Quanasia McDaniel 3200m Run Alice Cogburn did not finish due to an foot/ankle injury sustained during the race. 4x100m Relay 1st - Kamryn Gibbs, Zanady Coronado, Quanasia McDaniel, Ta'kaja Robinson 800m Run 3rd - Mary Jo Parker 4x200m Relay 1st - Kamryn Gibbs, Zanady Coronado, Quanasia McDaniel, Ta'kaja Robinson 400m Dash 7th - Ti'Alice Young 200m Dash 2nd - Kamryn Gibbs 3rd - Ta'kaja Robinson 5th - Quanasia McDaniel This is an exciting group of athletes to watch.

With the craziness of the last few weeks I failed to post about our District Meet. Our girls have fought this year against big competition so that we would be prepared for District and beyobd. I’m immensely proud of their drive to compete this year. The Tigerettes JV and Varsity competed in Tulia on April 3 and April 4 at the District 2-3A Track Meet. The weather was the typical South Plains weather of the North – cold and windy. Winds both days averaged around 30mph. The Tigerettes performed well in the conditions and finished with 110 team points behind Shallowater (116.5) as the District Runner-up. The Top 4 Varsity finishers qualify for Area. Our top finishers are as follows: Varsity Tigerettes Long Jump 2nd – Quanasia McDaniel 6th – Kamryn Gibbs Triple Jump 2nd – Takaja Robinson 3rd – Quanasia McDaniel 3200m Run 2nd – Alice Cogburn 6th – Aryanna Zapata 4x100m Relay 1st – Kamryn Gibbs, Zanady Coronado, Quanasia McDaniel, Takaja Robinson 800m Run 2nd – Mary Jo Parker 6th – Alice Cogburn 4x200m Relay 1st – Kamryn Gibbs, Zanady Coronado, Quanasia McDaniel, Takaja Robinson 400m Dash 4th – Ti’Alice Young 300m Hurdles 5th – Mary Jo Parker 200m Dash 2nd – Kamryn Gibbs 3rd – Takaja Robinson 5th – Quanasia McDaniel 1600m Run 5th – Alice Cogburn 4x400m Relay 5th – Ti’Alice Young, Zoriah Martinez, Jazmyn Jackson, Mary Jo Parker #TigeretteTrack #TigeretteTradition #TigeretteSpeed #EarnedNotGiven

Tigerette 4x200m Relay finishing with a 1:44.3 at the Seminole Tribe Relays. #TigeretteTrack #TigeretteSpeed #TigeretteTradition #EarnedNotGiven #4x200mrelay @__kgibbs @zanady_3 @itskanasia.yo @oxx.tk (at Wigwam Stadium)

This one is one for the books - literally. Canyon High School set the record for the 4x200m Relay in 2004. The Tigerettes broke that record Friday with a time of 1:45.05. These girls are moving well this year. We will get smoother. We will get faster. They will grind and dial in on the details. I’m proud to coach these young ladies. We will have a hard practice week over spring break and come ready for our meet in Seminole on the 22nd. There’s no time to waste. We have more goals to smash. #TigeretteTrack #TigeretteSpeed #TigeretteTradition #EarnedNotGiven #SlowFeetDontEat #WestTexasRelays #trackandfield @__kgibbs @zanady_3 @oxx.tk @itskanasia.yo (at Ratliff Stadium)

Kam ran a :60 split to come back from 4th to 2nd. Talk about running with grit. Thankful that we have the parents and fans we do who love to watch their kids compete in Track and Field. You can hear their enthusiasm in these videos. I love it! #TigeretteTrack #TigeretteSpeed #TigeretteTradition #EarnedNotGiven #trackandfield (at Ratliff Stadium)
