Coleman-Ruffin Making Strides
January 24, 2016
Garden City Community Colleges Laquisha Coleman and Donesha Ruffin have both qualified for the NJCAA Indoor Track and Field National Championships. The National Championships will be held on March, 4th-5th in Winston-Salem, NC. Below is a recap of CSM Joe Davies Invitational held last Friday and Saturday in Golden, CO:
- Laquisha Coleman
- Had a great day in long jump qualifying with the second best jump in the nation of 18'7. She got 3rd place overall in the meet getting edged out by 2 great performers including the top jumper in Division II. She is so young and just starting to learn how to jump. She has a bright future and can do some great things this year.
- Donesha Ruffin
- Donesha had a good week of competition punching her ticket to nationals in the triple jump with a jump of 35'5. Donesha has a lot left and is starting to get stronger as the weeks go.
