This one's for the girls

[ReadyToRun]

Ok, you know perfectly well that there are excellent female runners in this area. Jill Skinner ran at AF Bridges and won it under 19. She's awesome. Do you think there will be a challenge this year? What about the private schools like Harpeth Hall and Baylor and GPS? What do you know? Who's got it?

I would like to see her and shelly Taylor from northwest Whitfield race

Sophomore Kristin Holloway from GPS was 2nd overall in Bridges, 2nd in UTC behind Shelly Taylor and 3rd at the Berry meet (which was her 1st meet) and will only improve her time from here on out. The heat at the Bridges slowed a lot of the runners down actually. Times were off from the previous week for several of the Nashville teams. Holloway came in at 19:07 and Jill at 18:28. If it had been cooler, both Jill and Kristin would have taken about 10 seconds off of their time, as would most other serious CC runners. thumb

 

Holloway was only 18 seconds behind Taylor at the UTC meet in Chattanooga which is a huge accomplishment considering Holloway is returning this year from 3 broken bones in her foot from last year's season and was unable to compete in any meets after the 2003 AF Bridges last year.

 

Hats off to all the girls out their kicking up the dust!!
