Fun pics of Anna's last outing. Waiting on the official word of her moving on to the West regions for 100m hurdles. She will be competing against 47 other girls for the final 12 spots for Eugene, Oregon. Making West regions was a dream of hers. Let's keep it going.
Anna was flying, I mean flying. She set a facility record. Her block was slow, but she made up for it by hurdle #2
Finals tomorrow. Now long jump. She's tired!!!
Bittersweet can't even describe Anna's last multi. Today was probably her best performance on a day 2. Day 1 was just a bit off. Her best day 1 and today combined and she would have made it to Eugene, but that's the beauty of multis. She still ended as OVC champ of heptathlon
So sad reality is no way that she makes national, so that bucket list is over. She's still trying for regionals at hurdles. Needs a sub 13.5 for that to be a possibility.
Day 1 is complete for Anna's hep. In her words, this is weird and somewhat comical. She has had some opposite of PR's today. Hurdles 14.05. high jump 1.56. shot 9.9. Thankfully her 200 was 24.65,only positive thing about day 1.
She's hanging on to the lead. Let's go day 2
