Piedmont community still relishing girls track title
More than a week after their girls track team repeated as the Class 4A state championship, the excitement their accomplishment generated in the Piedmont community is still fresh.
When the Piedmont girls won the 2009 state track title, it was only the second state championship in school history, and the first since the girls basketball team won it all in 1967. Now they’ve got three.
“Winning the first one was special,” Piedmont coach Trinity Johnson said. “This year, with several returning girls from the 2009 team, we had a bull’s-eye on our back. It was very rewarding to see our girls withstand that amount of pressure and rise to the occasion with everything on the line.”
The Wildcats got contributions from the entire team. They scored points in 10 events, with Jori Davis, Sarah Peoples, Madison Berryman, Delarice Staley, Amanda Estes and Raven McDaniel earning gold medals either individually or on relay teams.
