Juliet Powell
Nice that she is back. I was wondering what happen to my great Edwin Allen star.
Welcome back K.
Wow! Outside of high school girls, 11 seconds don’t even count in the 100m anymore
So Julien Alfred is running faster than Elaine, where is the meet being held, that track that everybody runs fast times and comes to the big dance and fade away. eg English Gardener, and one Sha’carri Richardson.
Nice run by Kevona. Finally getting the confidence to compete.
Everton S. Jackson just last week I was asking for her
Paul White, always thought going to the NCAA would help her confidence. She just needed to realize that losing is a part of the development process.
