Cathy Caldwell Finishes
Third In State Hurdles
■k |
By Stan Brudney
Just the blink of an eye ... that’s
how dose Blue Katt senior hurdles
star Cathy Caldwell came to win-
ning the state 100 meters hurdles
crown at Memorial Stadium last
Friday.
Taking a 14.4 best time into the
event, Caldwell knew it would be an
even race to the end but she was
confident. Her father, Jim, owner of
Owl Drug in Coleman, mentioned,
"she was confident she would run
her best race. 8be wasn't cocky ...
4«jt confident."
The biggest problem "Cat" has
had in the past... getting out of
the blocks quickly proved to bo of no
mnsaqeonca fat the hurdles finals.
She began in grand style and
f**—the hurdles in a graceful
and sure fashion. At about the third
to sixth hurdle mark, she was dead
even. Approaching the seveoth
hurdle, the smooth operating senior
was two staph ahead as her form
began to tall on the remainder of the
field ... but, as late would have it.
to make the difference. Karen Ryan
of Goliad won it at 14.8 and
Stephanie Joshua of Diboll was
second at 14.4. Caldwell was third at
14.5. The distance between the
three girls wu almost "too dose to
call.”
Teammate Melisha Mason, a
junior, turned in her best time of the
year in the same event, running a
strong race for fifth place at 14J.
Sophomore Susan McCreight finish-
ed sixth in the 3200 meter run, with
an excellent effort of 2:19.0. It was
her best time of the year.
It has been a banner year for
coach Barbara Cox's Blue Katt track
team ... capturing the district title
for the third straight year... send-
ing 10 gals to region and three to
state.
For Cathy Caldwell, her three
year varsity track career will be
long remembered in this area. Bar
work toward a state title these past
three years paid off in a Class IA
record of 144 in the hurdlee event
