GIRLS 2011 ALL-EMPIRE TRACK & FIELD
Athlete of the Year
Sadia Ibrahim
10, Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa track coach Doug Courtemarche remembers Ibrahim as an eager middle schooler coming to
watch high school meets. As a freshman, she proved to be surprisingly mature for her age.
As a sophomore, Ibrahim climbed to dominance.
She had the fastest time in the NBL in the 400 meters this year, and the third fastest in the 200.
She anchored the Panthers’ 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams, both of which qualified for the NCS Meet
of Champions. But it was over 800 meters that Ibrahim gained separation, winning the MOC by a full
second and finishing 15th at the state meet.
“She’s the one we depended on for just about anything,” Courtemarche said. “We can put her in a lot
of situations.”
Ibrahim is just as valuable off the track, where she is known for working with younger runners and
helping her coach put away rakes and brooms after practices.
