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.
