Which track team title are you referring to Conference or Nationals?
 
T-boneisGood 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 said:
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.
 
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'.

You, me, & smokey should be the first recipients.
It's obvious you're bored. Have you finished all your Bigfoot movies?

The Six-Man Football "Doctorates of Drivial" would have to go to at least a dozen of ya'll. I am yearnin' and learnin' in the company of masters.
