The Winners
Impressive Performances for both, now on their way to Finals
in Orlando
Nurani Sheikh UT
Amber Trotter CA
Amber Trotter and Mom, Mary Newkirk
After missing last year because of illness, Amber roared
back with a vengence to complete this year by winning
the Footlocker West Regional in a class by herself. Mom
was never a runner, but that doesn't stop her from appreciating
Amber's accomplishments. Mom missed the Footlocker finals
last year in Orlando; but not this year. She already has
her ticket.
Coach Tony Casillas and Nurani UT--You couldn't
have seen a happier coach than Coach Casillas, when Nurani
won. He was literally jumping for joy; so happy for Nurani.
No matter what happens in Orlando, Nurani has made his mark
for the year. Out of no where, he won Footlocker West putting
a Cinderalla finish to his personal story. Nurani's Mother
couldn't make the trip but she was back in Salt Lake cheering
none-the-less.
