OVERALL RESULTS from CHANUTE 102420
Prior to Saturday's action @ Chanute, 1st year head coach Jaedyn Ledesma-Showman, had this to say about her first year and this group of young men...
"As a first year head coach, I have learned a lot from Coach Wallace. He puts a lot of time in to get meets ready and to make sure that I have everything I need to be successful. I am so grateful for awesome assistants, Coach Wallace and Coach Green. The kids have worked so hard and I am so proud of what they did in a single season. Braeden Ybarra is out for this season- and he has been a great asset in cheering the team on and being a good leader and support system for our team. I am excited that we will have him back next year, and 4 boys back.. The future's looking good for these young men and the coaches are so proud to have had the opportunity to be a part of this chapter of their lives!"
Good Luck Coach's Showman, Wallace, and Green and good luck Camden Parkey @ Wamego this Saturday! Way to represent young man!
