The Tyra Collette Award



The Tyra Collette Award is given annually to the most improved female runner in the state.

Two years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything.

I figured wanting would lead to trying, and trying would lead to failure.

But now I find I can’t stop wanting.

Previous Winners

2011: Laura Broderick Kennebunk
 
 
And the winner is....

 

Tiana Thomas Waterville

Tiana Thomas was a key catalyst in helping Waterville place third at the Class B state championships. Her time of 20:26.36 was good enough for 13th place in what was one of the strongest individual competitions we have seen in a while. Thomas placed 79th at the state meet last year which goes to show that her hard work is paying off. Some highlights from her season were: a third place finish at the Mt. Blue Relays (14:00), a 44th place finish at the Festival of Champions (20:38.67), and a 13th place finish at the KVAC Championships (21:25.1). Expect Thomas to be in contention for the Class B title next fall.

  1. I followed your report all season as I was following the meets. I hadn't looked recently and just happened to open today and what do I see, my daughter! Thank you so much. She has worked and trained hard all season. I am very proud of her and she is very proud of herself. What a great honor to come across this the night before her sports award banquet for cross country. Thank you again.
