She was the 1A state track meet MVP all 4 years, as well, and helped her team to titles in 1994 and 1996.
She won 4 state titles in the 100-meter hurdles (1994, ’95, ’96, ’97, setting state meet records in ’95 and ’97); 2 state titles in the 300-meter hurdles (1994, ’95, setting a state meet record in ’95 that stood for 6 years); 3 state titles in the high jump (1995, ’96, ’97, setting a 1A record in 1995); 2 state titles in the 200 meters (1994, ’95, setting a 1A record in 1995), 1 state title in the 400 meters (1997, setting a 1A record); 2 state titles in the 800 (1996, ’97, setting a 1A record in ’96) and 1 state title in the 1600 meters (1996, setting a 1A record).
