Jay Royals Finish Impressive Track Season At State Meet
May 6, 2011
The Jay Lady Royals finished an impressive track season recently at the state track meet.
The following was submitted by Jay High School Coach Stan Blackman:
With 133 schools in Florida’s Class 1A, Robin Blackman of Jay High School finished her senior year with three school records – the 400 meter dash with a time of 61.75, the 800 meter run with a time of 2:26.61, and the 4×800 meter relay with a time of 10:03.55.
Blackman placed tenth in the state in both the 800 meter run and the 4×800 meter relay where she ran the anchor leg. Blackman will continue her running career at Troy University next season where she will be running both cross country and track.
Blackman finished as the top point scorer for the Royals with 389 points. She advanced to the state meet every year since seventh grade and was among the top three point scorers since ninth grade. She will be sorely missed.
Leely Trevino was the other senior star for the Royals. She was part of the 4×800 relay that broke the school record and placed tenth in the state. She was also the number two point scorer with 301 points.
She place eleventh in the state meet in the 1600 meter run. Leely’s personal record in the 1600 meter run was set at Washington High School with a time of 5:37.09 where she placed first in the Panhandle Championships.
Both Trevino and Blackman are Florida Elite Runners in the area for Cross Country. Other members of the 4×800 state relay team were Caristyn Golden and Jessica Thornton. Golden was the number three point scorer this year for the Royals. She scored 271 points for the Royals. Thornton is an eighth grader, and she ran her personal best time at state this year with a split of 2:35.
Other state finishers included the 4×400 relay team that finished 15th. Members of this team were Blackman, Trevino, Golden, and Shelby Thomas.
The Royals had a great season and set many personal records. It was definitely a season that will never be forgotten.
