Vacaville, Track & Field, Sophomore
The Bulldogs’ hurdler won the 300-meter hurdles event at the Mt. SAC Relays with a personal-best time of 41.99 seconds. The time was just the third sub-42 mark turned in by a high school girl in the United States this season and is the second-fastest time for in the state. In 2014, Woodward finished third in a Vacaville 1-2-3 sweep of the 100 meter hurdles at the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters and followed that up with a sixth-place finish in the event at state. In the 300 meter hurdles, she finished second at Section Masters, but did not qualify for the state finals in a deep field. Just a sophomore, she has upped her game and is upholding the Bulldogs’ reputation as the girls’ hurdles team to beat.
IN HER OWN WORDS: “Knowing that I could break 42 seconds in the middle of the season gives me a lot of confidence. My goal is to be faster and stronger as the season goes on, so I know I can run faster. If I continue to go to bed on time, get the right nutrition and give 100 percent heart and 10 percent talent in practice, then I will be where I want to be for Section Masters and state.”
