1st Team  Emily Vannoy  Thomas Johnson   Junior

This junior has been the most dominant female thrower in the state for the past two years.  This indoor season she had the seven best throws in the state this season and is tied for seventh in the country at this point in the season.  Her goals for the future are to qualify for the Olympic trials and to continue moving up in the national rankings. When asked how she keeps herself motivated when she is the dominant thrower in the state, Vannoy said " I tell myself that Karen Shump and Becky O'brien are busting their butts to win NIN and if I want to beat them I have to do the same."

Long Jump

1st Team Christina Manning  Westlake    Senior

Not only is she the best long jumper in the state this season and one of the top 10 in the country, but she is also the best hurdler in the state. Take into account her duties in the 55 dash and on Westlake's relays and Christina is one of the busiest athletes at any meet. Her long jump coach has said she has been close to 20 feet all year in practice and she just needs to hit the board. In order to get to 20 feet, Christina said, "I going to have to work really hard to get on the board.  Maybe I need to think about changing my mark.  Most importantly, I need to be aggressive in my approach and not worry so much about fouling.  Just be confident and jump!"
