GHS Track Team Members Meet Olympian Jackie Joyner Kersee

Jackie Joyner Kersee was the keynote speaker at the Win for KC Luncheon last Thursday.  Win for KC honors female state champions each year at their annual fundraiser.  After Joyner Kersee spoke she took pictures with girls in attendance and our 4x200 State Championship team of Irea Brown, Amber Henderson, Sydnee Mitchell, and  (alternate)Timolin Dooley. 

 “As we chatted with her, we told her that Angie Annulus (former Bulldog state record-holder and State Champion) was attending Jackie Joyner Kersee's alma mater of UCLA.  She thought that was really cool, and said that she would definitely look her up next time she was at a practice,” said Dana Bedwell, GHS Track and Field Coach.

The luncheon was held at the Sheridan Hotel downtown.  Our district has been able to attend the last three years.
