So Fast

Besides shooting track & field, I also shoot skateboarding. When at a location, I can pick out the good skaters immediately before they even try a trick because they do everything fast and smooth. Jelmini reminds me of the great skaters I have seen. She is so quick and powerful.

Often watching the field events in seems to be a battle between giants who are not to graceful but have the size advantage to heave the implement the farthest. This is not the case with Anna or her teammate Lacie, they are outstanding athletes not just strongwomen.

Then there is Collatz who is truly a gifted athlete who qualified for state in both throws and just missed making state in the triple jump. If she had not recently hurt her ankle she might have made it to state in four events (shot,discus,lj,tj). She also junped 5'2 recently.

Then in fifth in the shot was Bakersfield's Torres who missed almost the entire season due to a soccer related injury. She finally made it out to track in May and won a SEYL title. Speaking of soccer, she was the starting goalie for the Drillers this year as a freshman.
