In 2008 Amber Gossett from Rochelle placed 6th in the 100 meter hurdles. Bonnie would have won the state track meet without that one point, but she did not compete there alone.

Which track team title are you referring to Conference or Nationals?

You sure you got your year right?
Sources say
Bonnie was the only one from Chelly
to qualify for State that year?

T-boneisgood - I thought Rochelle sent another girl to the State meet in 2007 (2006-07 school year) and Richardson was solo in 2008 and 2009.

Also about Christy Williams, I do not know, I took that information from the Howard Payne University website...I guess I could ask her...

t-boneisgood - here is the answer to you question...

1994 TIAA Conference Meet at Austin College. Christy Williams was not the only girl athlete for HPU (they had about 5 I was told), but she scored enough points by myself to win the meet for HPU...as a freshman

That is impressive! Interesting trivia thanks.

Just emailed Coach Dennis to check on the year.

Just heard back from Coach Dennis. You are correct Amber ran in 2007. Crazy story behind that.

Actually,
trivial almost sounds like drivel.
Is that why so many of you are good at it?
Perhaps a special 6man term should be:

drivial.

Maybe even award a Doctorate of Drivial?
jus sayin'.
