| Coach's
Quote: |
"Rachel
continues to amaze us with her abilities. We have told her in
recent years despite her accomplishments that she is capable of
much more. She has figured this out this spring and has gone to
the next level. Her intensity raises her teammates"
performances whenever she is with them at meets or at
practice. Her influence on our team will be lasting even after
she graduates and heads to Nebraska."
" Neil Mathews, Lee-Davis |
What
about the
socks?: |
"A girl in my gym class told me that matching socks are bad
luck, so I figured that was pretty good advice." Butler wears
different types of colorful socks at every meet. It's a trend
that many other track athletes have picked up. |
