"I thought her efforts were good despite some of the challenges she faced this season," said LSI Head Coach Alexander Hill. "Overall I'm please with the outcome. We have a saying at LSI "It doesn't matter what you do now, what matters is what you do when it counts" and to run a Personal Best, the very last race of the season makes it that more time tested and true. Sydnie has a great deal of talent and potential and at 12 years old we have plenty time to extract her best performances."
