Last weekend Tashena competed at the BYU Invitational track meet. As the name implies, only the best of the best are invited to compete at this two-day meet. Tashena was ranked fifth in the state of Utah, quite a feat for a sophomore. She had a really rough two days because she failed to advance to the finals in any of her events (discus, shot put, javelin, and long jump). In discus, her best event, she scratched on her first two throws and had a mediocre distance for her final throw. I think she was nervous because she puts so much pressure on herself and this was a big meet. It doesn't matter the outcome, I am still so incredibly proud of this girl! Her next big competition in the state championship (which she qualified for at her first meet of the season) and I'm sure she will be even more determined than ever to do well!
Note: Look at those guns!
