OUR BLOGS Post-Harrison Reflection Blog Gibs wrote... WAY TO GO EVERYONE! Not bad for our first track meet! I know some of us had the jitters, but still did great! Just like Dani, now that "we have one under our belt," we know what you have to do in practice! Work hard and have fun doing it! Great job at the first meet! Looking forward to the ones to come :)!!! 3/29/2012 2:32 PM

OUR BLOGS Creative Legend Writing Takayla Gadberry wrote... It was the only track meet held at the Lockland Memorial Stadium! Magnificent Godbey as we now call her was standing at the line waiting for the gun shot to start her most starred event... the 200 meter hurdles!!!!!! "bang" the gun shot and Godbey was off like the wind!! Even though you could barely feel your hands it was so cold, Godbey ran as fast as a cheetah and it looked like she was just running right through the hurdles without knocking them down! All the other track teams just stared at her in amazement as her team cheered her on all the way to the finish line! Godbey had dusted all the other girls and from that day on all the officials and track teams that attended that meet now know her as... The Magnificent Godbey!!!! 4/11/2012 8:28 PM
