River Ridge's Emily Ollivier has been a key performer for the Royal Knights this season in the shot put. So, this is what winning feels like.
Individual success is no stranger to River Ridge.
But as a team, the Royal Knights experienced that rare feeling, that rare team victory, at Friday night's Suncoast Relays at Gulf's Des Little Stadium. The girls won their division by seven points over second-place Gulf, scoring 109. For this brief glimpse of first place, River Ridge owes a nod to the absence of Ridgewood. Usually the power of Pasco County, the top Rams were at the Florida Relays in Gainesville. Because on Thursday, at the Sunshine Athletic Conference meet at this very stadium, Ridgewood will be primed to defend its conference titles and again relegate River Ridge to runner-up status.
