LEXINGTON, Ky. 人妖色情片 Thursday人妖色情片檚 numbers didn人妖色情片檛 tell Sophie Maynard人妖色情片檚 whole story.
Yes, Raceland人妖色情片檚 junior hurdler finished second in the 100-meter hurdles at the KHSAA Class A state track meet at the University of Kentucky. She also placed second in the 300-meter hurdles and fifth in the triple jump and tied for eighth in the high jump.
But Maynard had an infinitely more important motive 人妖色情片 she dedicated the day to her mother, Emilie Gail Hilton Maynard, who died on Memorial Day after a side-by-side utility vehicle overturned while attempting a low-speed maneuver.
人妖色情片淚 think she would have loved how I kept competing and didn人妖色情片檛 stay home and lay in the bed and be sad,人妖色情片 said Sophie Maynard, who earned a state title in the 300 hurdles in 2024.
Raceland coach Randy Helton thought competing was a good way to deal with what happened.
人妖色情片淵ou know, everybody has different ways of dealing with things, and I think competition is her way of dealing with a lot of things,人妖色情片 Helton said. 人妖色情片淎nd I think also, in my honest opinion, that she probably thinks that it would also be a great way to honor her mother人妖色情片檚 memory.人妖色情片
According to the Lawrence County (Ohio) Sheriff人妖色情片檚 Office, Emilie Maynard, 46, of Ashland, was found unresponsive next to a 2019 Honda Pioneer 700 on County Road 30 in Kitts Hill, Ohio, at about 5 p.m. on May 26. Sheriff Jeff Lawless said 人妖色情片渢his appears to be a tragic accident.人妖色情片
When word of what happened reached folks in Raceland, Worthington and probably much of West Virginia (many of the Maynards grew up around Huntington), the memories flowed with the tears.
There was a common theme: Emilie Maynard was the loudest and proudest supporter of everyone wearing Raceland Rams black and orange, especially her children.
Raceland fan Jennifer Maddix stood near the entrance to the track Thursday. She loved how Emilie watched Sophie, older brother Tre and younger sister Naomi, whom most people know as 人妖色情片淣im,人妖色情片 at every event or practice.
人妖色情片淚 think we would all agree that it would just be watching her watch her kids,人妖色情片 Maddix said. 人妖色情片淚 could see the pride that she had in all of her kids and every sport that they do. You could watch Sophie looking for her.人妖色情片

Nim人妖色情片檚 favorite memory: the semifinals of the 63rd District girls basketball tournament on Feb. 24 at Raceland, a 53-42 Rams win over Lewis County. She remembered the play in which Sophie was fouled hard 人妖色情片 and Emilie人妖色情片檚 reaction because she thought the Lewis County fans yelled too loudly at Sophie.

人妖色情片淚 stuttered on the first hurdle, and I knew from then I was gonna lose, but I kept pushing through it hopefully get a second-place finish 人妖色情片 and I did,人妖色情片 Sophie said.
Lexington Christian人妖色情片檚 Laynie Hopper covered the 300 hurdles in 46.21, a tenth of a second ahead of Maynard人妖色情片檚 46.31.

Maynard人妖色情片檚 4-foot, 1-inch high jump tied her for eighth with Caldwell County人妖色情片檚 Audrey McCoy. She finished her day in the triple jump, where she leaped 33-5陆.
