When you’re as fast as Olathe East sprinter Breeana Coleman it’s never enough to just win a race. There is always the task of improving on your times and climbing the track and field leader boards.
In Coleman’s latest outing, the prestigious Kansas Relays, the Hawk junior finished second in the 100 hurdles and first in the 100 meters. Yet, it was the hurdle race with which Coleman took the most delight in.
“I was very satisfied with my hurdles, because it’s the best time I’ve ever run,” Coleman told the Olathe News. “But I wasn’t satisfied with my 100. I was satisfied with my place obviously, but I wasn’t satisfied with the time.”
As usual, Coleman was busy at the 82nd annual relays. After qualifying for the finals of the 100 meters, with a 12.03-second clocking, Coleman out raced Kansas City-Center junior Cara Forte to the finish line with a 12.19 clocking.
Coleman qualified first in the hurdles as well, with a 14.33 effort, but fell to the fleet footed Tiffani McReynolds of Pembroke Hill (Mo.) in the finals despite finishing the race with a time of 14.39.
Coleman teamed with Hawk teammates Chelsey Borders, Ashley Reid and Cierra Chartier in both the 4x100 meter relay and the 4x200 meter relay, anchoring Olathe East to third place finishes in both events.
For her effort in the hurdle prelims, Coleman finds herself sitting atop the latest Kansas girls track and field leader board, ahead of Kansas City-Washington’s LaTristan Pledger, who has run a 14.59 so far this season.
Coleman is second in the 100 meters after going 12.0 earlier in the season, and is first in the 200 meters with a 25.52 clocking. Olathe East’s 400 relay moved into second following it’s preliminary effort Saturday.
Below is a look at the complete Kansas boys and girls track and field leader boards.
