Tallahassee Democrat Article (you can call me "special")

Leon, Chiles win district titles

DEMOCRAT STAFF REPORTS • November 9, 2008


PENSACOLA — Leon High won both the boys team and individual championships at the District 1-3A Championships on Saturday.
Leon finished ahead of Pine Forest, Fort Walton Beach and Chiles in overall points. Leon's Matt Mizereck finshed first overall in the boys individual race with teammates Will Stanford in second and Riley Dohergy in third.
Chiles won the girls 1-3A championship also with an individual top-three sweep, as Lily Williams finished first in the individual standings with teammates Carly Thomas Kaia Hampton in second and third, respectively.
"Our kids did what they had to do," Leon coach Andrew Wills said. "It was a good day to run. It was a good team victory, which is good for the seniors. Tey wanted to definitely win districts, so it's a good day.
"I think they're happy with the way they ran. They're pretty much a veteran group. They know they have to get better every week."
Chiles coach Scott Gowan was also pleased.
"We ran well," Gowan said. "Our girls' team ran well, our boys team ran well — we were seeded seventh coming in, and finished third, so our boys had a real good day as well
"The girls have run well all year long. We've had a good group. Now we get to run at home, in Tallahassee where we train. We know the course real well, which should be kind of an advantage.

"I think people kind of doubted us, but we've been pretty good the last few years — three state title and two runner-ups in the last six years. This is the best year our girls have ever had. We just want to keep it going."


Okay, I know, there are some errors in the story. The boys finished fourth. The girls went 1,2,3 4 and Kendall was 4. But, it was a newspaper story and that is good. And it was my first photograph in the newspaper!!! Yes, that's me - "special to the democrat". So you can call me "Special".

Good work guys. Got to have the same thing next week as only 6 teams will go and we add six teams from District 2 to the competition.

Fractured Quote of the Week

"This is our chance to answer that call.  This is our moment.  This is our time -  .  .  .  to  reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:    Yes We Can!!"
