On Jan. 17, no athlete or relay team from the Maryvale Prep track and field team won a single race at the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland indoor championship meet. Senior Tara Coyne was the team’s lone individual winner of the evening, taking first place in the high jump.
And yet, even before the final races of the night had ended and the team scores were finalized, it was clear which team had been the best in the conference once again.
“I knew the middle of the meet was going to be big for us,” head coach Jason Miller said. “So I knew if we could kick the door down and bust through with a high number of points we would have a shot at coming in first. With the field event points coming in after the updated track events I felt our team was on a roll, and we just continued to keep ahead of [the other] teams.”
