Released By Tyler Cundith
OVERLAND PARK, KS – Johnson County Community College sophomore Ashley Reid technically can lay claim as the Region VI Female Track Athlete of the Year, and head coach Mike Bloemker the women’s Coach of the Year.  While no official awards exist, Reid has been named the Female Athlete of the Meet at both the indoor and outdoor  championships, and Bloemker has won Coach of the Meet both times.  

At last weekend’s outdoor championships in Hutchinson, Kan., Reid won the high jump and triple jump, placed runner-up in the long jump and ran a leg on the 4x100 relay that place third. She was the East Jayhawk Conference champion in all three of her individual events, and set new conference meet records in the triple jump (38-11.5) and long jump (19-2). In her two seasons, Reid is a four-time region champion and nine-time conference champion. Full Story
