The SB Report: The Trya Collette Award

This award is given to the most improved female runner in the state.

Tyra Collette (Adrianne Palicki) was a key component to the stellar television series, Friday Night Lights. Tyra was known as the rebellious girl in school who attended Dillon High School sporadically during her first couple of years. By season two, she started to focus more on her studies, and less about her popularity status in high school. With the help of Landry Clarke, Tyra turned into a fine student and eventually continued her studies at the University of Texas.

 

 

 

And the winner is.....

 

 

 

Laura Broderick Kennebunk

SB: 19:57.0

 

Laura Broderick had a fantastic Sophomore season at Kennebunk high school highlighted by her 12^th place finish at the Class A state meet as she ran a time of 20:48.99. Broderick's breakout race this season came at the Festival of Champions where she placed 13^th running a time of 20:41.01. With Abbey Leonardi gone next year, look for Laura Broderick to take the SMAA by storm next year and make a strong push for a top five finish at the Class A state meet.
