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.

“We haven’t had enough
boys for a competitive team in
a long time,” he said. “We may
even have enough for a relay.
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.”
