Kennedi Sanders, Madison Ridgeland Academy
Kennedi started off the second session running a quick 7.65 in the 60m. But the 60m was only the
beginning. Sanders came back in the 400m and ran a weekend best 55.65. Her focus for the day was
solely on the 400m. Her coach really wanted the 60m to be a good warmup and turn her speed on.
When it came time for the 400m, she was shaking from being so nervous. Everyone who runs the 400m
knows it's going to hurt and Sanders' coach said, "whether you run a 1:00 or a 55, it's still going to hurt
the same, so might as well just do your best." Her best that day was good for US #10 for High School
Girls. Kennedi has one goal for the season and it's the same for every season: Run for God, Mississippi
and continue to put her best effort onto the track.
