PETTIT Continued from Page B1 She said head coach Dar- rin Dailey helped her succeed in hurdles, teaching her tech- niques to improve her times. “In the 100 hurdles, I was hoping that when I went there I would hit 16, and I did,” she said. “I liked the 300 hurdles, and I got a personal record the first day, and then in finals I wasn’t my fastest, but I was still on the podium.” She added, “The 4x100 was super exciting just to be with my team and see everyone on the podium.” John Ramirez, competing for the Monument boys, fin- ished 10th in the 200-meter dash with 23.94. For the girls team it was the school’s best state finish yet, placing seventh out of 39 teams. Last year, they placed eighth. “I think it’s our best season since the comeback (2012),” coach Dailey said. “I’m proud to know every one of them.” Dailey said the future for Monument track and field looks bright. He expects six middle schoolers, including five boys, to join the team next season.

It should be a larger team with the same potential for podium time that we’ve enjoyed in the past couple of years. “It was a great season, and I’m so happy such a large percentage of athletes qual- ified for state and made it to finals.” A man wakes up in the morning after sleeping on an ADVERTISED BED, in ADVERTISED PAJAMAS.
