JANA THYMES (PARKVIEW BAPTIST)-- Thymes said she "avoided track as long as she could." Thymes made a name for herself in volleyball and will go on to compete for Liberty University.

She put on a show in the final meet of her career winning MVP honors in Class 3A and helping her Eagles to their third consecutive state title. Thymes won the 100 meters (12.00), 200 meters (24.63), and long jump (18-10.75).
ERIN TIFFEE (MONTEREY)--Tiffee won both the shot put (32-6.25) and the discus (115-9) in Class B. The mark in the shot put was a personal record for Tiffee. In the discus, she was only nine inches away from a 32-year old class record.
