stouffville suntribune thursday june 16 2005 7 high school stars shine after glitzy seasons if an effervescent glow had pervaded the atmosphere above the entrance to 183 bramble cres in stouffville last thursday it should have been expected for what occurred the weekend before in the small town of lasalle on near windsor has turned the stu dent track world upside down stouffvilles track world included a 14yearold girl com pleting her grade 9 year at stouffville district secondary school accomplished what no other athlete here and perhaps anywhere has ever done win two gold medals in competition against the cream of the crop from across ontario not only that but in her final race the 400 metres she established a provincial record little wonder natalie geiger an amazing 120- pound specimen of perpetual motion was accorded a thunderous ovation when presented with the 2005 jun iorfemale athlete of the year award the occasion was the schools athletic banquet over the past halfcentu ry ive witnessed many feats of athletic brilliance but never anything close to this would you believe 13 races without a defeat would you believe 13 gold medals typically canadian distinctively stouffville no supercilious arrogance would you believe 10 meet records would you believe master- ing the 400metre ontario mark set by a girl at a next age level would you believe record ing two ontario firsts in two successive days would you believe estab lishing an ontario midget race record that may never be broken would you believe qualify ing for the world champi onships in morocco only seeing is believing steve jimmo head track instructor at stouffville high was a witness phenomenal he said just phenomenal jim rehill a 34year veter an of the physical education department at stouffville high ahdnow retired had a similar reaction its awesome mindbog gling he said even to reach the provincial meet is an exceptional accomplish- meriche added but towin two golds and establish roaming around with jim thomas sport and one sport only not so with natalie her interests also include basketball cross country and hockey adding further flavour to the mix shes an aplus student but what is natalie geiger really like this thought flashed through my mind as i waited outside the management office for a prearranged appointment a oneword descriptive will do hum ble typically canadian dis tinctively stouffville no supercilious arrogance or conceited overconfidence just natalie normal natu ral and nice i was impressed equally so with the ban quet event to follow the absence of illuminated halos over the schools exterior was replaced by deference admi ration and respect visibly apparent within not brawn over brain as one might expect but a blend of talent and skill so necessary in a complex postgrad society for me sharon macfarlane head of girls phys ed said it best in a stir ring address to members of the 2005 honour team this she said is not an awaid you can win by having one good athletic year this is not an award you can win by being a great athlete a poor student or a poor person this is an award you win by having an impact on other people you she
