Houston Academy track standout Macauley Flanagan and Goshen track star Jamauri McClure expressed excitement to be on the track this past season, say their head coaches.
Flanagan, a sophomore at Houston Academy, won all seven of her 400-meter races during the season, won four of her five 200-meter runs and placed in the top four in all six 100-meter dashes, including two runner-up finishes.
For their efforts, Flanagan has been named the Dothan Eagle Track/Field Female Athlete of the Year and McClure the Dothan Eagle Track/Field Male Athlete of the Year. “The season before I won some championships, so I wanted to break my times and do my personal best,” Flanagan said. In addition to competing in track and field, Flanagan is a gymnast, a cheerleader and a member of HA’s cross country team. While cross county distances are three miles more than her sprint events, Flanagan feels competing in the fall sport helps her in the spring.
Entering the state meet, Flanagan was confident in her chances to earn a couple of medals, but didn’t take it for granted. Though he finished fourth at state in the 100 meters, it was this past season that he had breakout year. “I saw a lot of improvement from last year to this year in him,” Davis said. “This year he was more excited about it and knew more about it. He would go into meets this year with a goal in mind and he was willing to do anything and everything to get better.”
