2018 Liberty Girls Track Capsule

LIBERTY

Head coach: Geoff Walker, fourth season

Top athletes: Gabby Carson (Sr.), Athiya Iese (Sr.), Aaliyah Soa (Jr.), Brianna McDaniel (So.), Alyssa Carson (Fr.)

Outlook: Carson was the state runner-up and Sunrise Region champion in the pole vault. She also was a region finalist in the triple jump and long jump.

“Gabby Carson has multiple Division I scholarship offers as a pole vaulter and is a superior overall athlete, student, and competitor,” Walker said.

Iese was the state runner-up in both throws, and Soa, who sat out last season after transferring from Bishop Gorman, give the Patriots a one-two punch in the discus an shot put.

McDaniel was a member of the 800 relay team that advanced to the region final.

“The throws, with Iese and Soa, and the Carson sisters will be the backbone of this team,” Walker said. “We hope to be healthy at the right time and to compete for the Sunrise Region championship.”
