Cailyn Jouett is a 2013 Frankfort graduate. She was third overall in Class A in the Shot Put her senior year at the Kentucky State Track Meet.
What was your most memorable race/event?
1. THE MEET THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET WAS IN 2011 AT THE GRANT CO. INVITATIONAL, MY MOM JOETTA JOUETT HAD A STROKE WHILE DRIVING UP THERE, SHE CAME ON ANYWAY, AT THE MEET, SHE COULD NOT THINK AND HER SPEECH WAS SLURRED AND WE TALKED HER INTO GOING BACK HOME AND GET SOME MEDICAL ATTENTION. MY MIND WAS ON MY PRAYING SHE WAS OKAY AND I STILL MANAGED TO DO GOOD WITH HER NOT THERE.
Who would you consider your biggest competition over your four years?
2. IN MY MIND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TRACK MEETS WHEN ALL THAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD WAS I CAN’T DO IT.
What was your greatest accomplishment?
3. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY KIND WORDS SAID IN THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT ME AND FROM ATHLETES, SPECTATORS AND COACHES AT THE MEETS, TO ME THAT IS A BLESSING AND I APPRECIATED IT.
What was your greatest accomplishment?
4. I WISHED THAT I WOULD HAVE STARTED THE SHOT PUT AT A YOUNGER AGE AND HAD A SHOT PUT COACH FROM THE BEGINNING.
What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome?
5. COMING BACK FROM THE OFF SEASON AND STARTING WHERE I LEFT OFF INSTEAD OF IMPROVING MY DISTANCES.
What will you miss the most?
6. BEING ON A SMALL TEAM LIKE FRANKFORT HIGH WITH ATHLETES THAT ARE ALWAYS STRIVING TO BE THE BEST.
What advice would you give to younger athletes?
7. NEVER EVER GIVE UP, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
What influence has your coaches had with respect to your performance and overall life goals
8. COACH FIELDS HAS NEVER SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO ME, ALWAYS MANAGED TO PUSH ME BY BEING POSITIVE AND COACH LEACH, ALWAYS HAD ME RIGHT SPIRITUALLY, WE ALWAYS PRAYED TOGETHER BEFORE EVERY COMPETITION BECAUSE I KNOW IT WAS THE GRACE OF GOD THAT LET ME ACCOMPLISH ALL THINGS AND I AM THANKFUL FOR THAT.
What are your plans for college or joining the workforce next year?
9. I WILL BE ATTENDING COLLEGE AND PLAN TO GET A DEGREE IN THE HUMAN SERVICES FIELD AND COMPETING IN TRACK, I HAVE NARROWED DOWN MY CHOICES AND WILL BE ANNOUNCING MY DECISION SOON.
Who would you like to say thank you to?
THANKS TO COACH FIELDS FOR BEING THERE SINCE I WAS LITTLE AND TO MY MOM FOR BEING MY NUMBER ONE FAN, I LOVE YOU GUYS.
