Peak Performance

11.55

100 Meters
“Semira’s state championship in the 100-meter dash, her gutsy come-from-behind anchor in the 400-meter relay and her everything-she-had-left to place fourth in the 200 was just incredible. I’ve never worked with a more driven and focused student-athlete. She is a once-in-a-coach’s-lifetime athlete.”
