CS: I won the girls class 2A 100 meter dash & I'm from Knox Central High School.
2) What kind of strategy did you have going into your event?
CS: Going in, I knew I had to beat everyone out of the blocks, & hold my top speed as long as I could, & run through the finish line.
3) If this was your first state championship, what kind of emotions and thoughts did you have immediately after winning? If this was another state championship for you joining others, how does this one compare to the prior one?
