KIAC CONFERENCE 2012

04/30/2012

IUE Track 2012

 We made the trip down to Berea, KY on Friday April 27th and survived safe and sound! We stopped at Gatti town and got to spend some much needed bonding time playing games and having fun, and if you have never heard of Gatti Town it is like a huge Dave & Busters!! It was so much fun and the best part may have been getting all of us on to the carousel! 

Saturday morning we were all focused and ready to get down to business. We arrived on the track at around 10:00 and you could just tell everybody was nervous in a good way! The weather was almost perfect, we were ready to prove that no matter how many people we have on our team, no matter that we don't have a facility, we can hold our own against any competition!!!!!

And we did just that, the boys finished third overall with a hand full of conference champions!! The girls had three conference champions, Vanessa also took home the Athlete of the year for the second time, and I defended my discus title! We also placed 2nd overall! It was an amazing team effort and I enjoyed every minute of it! Although this semester was crazy busy for everyone we pulled it all together in the end, and I just wanted to shout out our coach Brett Crowley who was put on the spot this season and had to deal with a lot! But he got through it, and we all want to say Thank you!!

One more shout out to this years team, we set a lot of records and had a lot of fun! Best of luck to those that are moving on and for those coming back; enjoy the time off and come prepared to work even harder next year!!
