Senior Bree LeRoy ended her career on a high note at her first NCAA Finals appearance by clearing two bars and finishing 22nd overall.  Her first attempt at the third bar (5-10.75) was her best and would have been a new lifetime best.  However, the bar would not stay up and she failed on her other two attempts.  To come to the NCAA Finals for the first time is always the most difficult, but as she has all year, she handled the pressure well and gave herself a chance to go out with a new PR.

Watching Bree's development over the last four years has been very enjoyable.  Her last two years were by far her best as she led us in points scored at the outdoor conference meet in both seasons.  She was also our first ever all Pac-12 track and field athlete.  She worked hard for all of her success and she was fun to be around everyday.  You can't ask for much more as a coach.  She will be greatly missed by all of us associated with Utah TF.

Up next....yes the season still is not completed....is the US Junior National Championships where we will have two competitors.  Freshmen Kaitlin Urmston (javelin) and Susannah Hurst (5K) will compete next weekend (June 15-16).  After that junior Amanda Mergaert may have earned a spot in the US Olympic Trials with her 4:13 clocking in the 1500m at the NCAA meet.  That time is just shy of the 'A' Standard for the Trials so we won't know for sure that she is in for about another week.  Stay tuned!
