COPPERAS COVE — A mixture of brains, beauty and brawn — bedecked in trendy clothes and designer handbags — Copperas Cove High School Lady Bulldawgs track and field standouts DeJon Griffin, left; Samaura Jacquot, center; and Valerie Hancock, right, evoked the sartorial flare and sophistication of Florence Griffith-Joyner on Friday afternoon, June 9, during the post-graduation, college letter-of-commitment signing ceremony at the CCHS Athletics Annex.
Griffin, a class 5A University Interscholastic League state qualifier in the shot put, will attend Northwestern Sate University (Louisiana) and pursue an academic course of study that will prepare her for a career in fashion design.
Jacquot, who qualified for the Region II-5A meet in the triple jump, committed to Texas Lutheran University. She aspires to enter the medical profession and become a heart surgeon.
Hancock, the class 5A state champion in the high jump with a clearance of 5-feet-9, will attend Texas State University. Her aspirations include reaching all-American status in the high jump as a college freshman and becoming a physical therapist.
