As their coach, I felt that knife twist in my gut too. Their eyes searched mine for answers I couldn’t give. The meet had barely begun, and already our strongest event was gone. But what I witnessed next is why I’ll never forget this team. One by one, these extraordinary young women wiped away tears, squared their shoulders, and transformed their pain into power. I stood in awe as they attacked their individual events with a fire I’d never seen before. No wallowing—only warriors. Their collective courage carried us to CIF Division 3 Runner-Up Champions against all odds. Parents: The daughters you picked up yesterday aren’t the same ones you dropped off. They’ve been tempered by adversity and emerged stronger. That’s a gift far beyond any medal. To my incredible athletes: I’ve coached for years, but watching you rise from that early devastation moved me beyond words. This plaque isn’t just hardware—it’s proof that your character towers over any obstacle. When life blindsides you in the future, remember yesterday. Remember how champions respond. This is the heart of #CodeblackElite #CalabasasCoyotes Resilient. Relentless. Remarkable. 📸 @mrpotatojimmy
