Jackson a nervous finalist
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot of talk surrounding the mentality of Frontier junior Taylor Jackson over the past two weeks.
She had hit a hurdle in the girls 100 hurdles race at the Central Section meet, causing her to miss the state meet even though she had easily the section's best time. She also freely admitted she was nervous before the race she did qualify for, Friday's 300 hurdles prelim.
"Everybody kept asking how she was up here," said Frontier coach David Gaeta, pointing to his temples. "How she was going to deal with it after what happened two weeks ago."
Just fine, thanks. Jackson ran a personal-record 43.95 in the race, finishing second in her heat to Claremont's Kori Carter, the state leader in the event. The time was eighth overall; the top nine advanced to today's state finals.
"It's cool that I got to run against the best in the state; that definitely helped push me," Jackson said. "... This makes up for (the section-meet mishap). I'm sure the nerves will come back (today), but I've reached my goal."
Jackson doomed by slow start
ReplyDeleteFrontier junior Taylor Jackson was more than happy to be under the lights, being announced in the field for the state final in the girls 300 hurdles.
That wouldn't be the end of the good news for Jackson on Saturday. She set a personal record for the second straight night, this time in 43.64. But it's the state final for a reason, and even that PR didn't place Jackson higher than eighth in a nine-person race. Jackson broke from the blocks slowly and never really caught up.
