Shamrock Invitational Track and Field Meet
This weekend Benjamin Jenerette, one of Katherine's daughters will be participating in Shamrock Invitational Track and Field meet. She will be competing in two events, the 1500m and 800m. Coastal Carolina University will be hosting the invitational. I would like to wish Benjamin the best of luck in both of the events she will be participating in. I would also like to mention that Benjamin is only 13 years old, competing against collegiate level athletes. In November 2009, Benjamin was named to South Carolina's All State Team and was also recognized as one of the National Elites National Silver Standard Runners after competing in the 2009 State Cross Country Championship meet at Sand Hills Research Center, Columbia. It seems that young Benjamin is running her way into her mother's footsteps with a stellar track record, Katherine was honored as NCAA "Big South" conference runner in 1994 while attending Coastal Carolina University.
"She is ranked 1st in five Outdoor Track events in South Carolina for her class and is 12th in the Nation USATF Youth. Benjamin is listed in the MileSplit 2009 United States Outdoor Track & Field 1500m Rankings as third for her class in the Nation." -Jenerette.com
Benjamin finished 38th out of 58 Collegiate Runners from across the country at the largest track meet on the east coast this past weekend.
I'm real proud of my Benji. Benjamin is in the eigth grade.
At the start line one of the girls asked Benjamin if she remembered being in High School. Benjamin told her,"I'm not there yet, I'm 13-years old."
The college runner replied in shock "Gosh, I'm 10-years older than you!"
