It's
difficult enough for a high school girl to break 5:40 in the 1600 but Shamen Dugger did it
twice in a row without stopping at San Diego State in 1986 while lowering the school's
3200 meter record to 11:18.69. Not only did she excel in spring track she was the #1
runner on the cross country team for her last 3 years, the #1 singles player on the tennis
team her last two years and carried a 4.2 GPA.In cross country she won the league title 3 years in a row. In tennis she won the South Bay league championship her last 2 years. As a sophomore, junior, and senior she was voted MVP for both teams. Now here's the rub. The girls tennis season and cross country are concurrent. She did them both at the same time!
For her achievements, Dugger was honored by the Union Tribune as the 1986 female Student-Athlete of the year; all this in a 4' 11", 80 pound strawberry blond package.
