Shaun Goodwin Special to The Star
Crimson and Blue runs through the Coppinger sisters’ blood — at least according to Addie Coppinger.
As Addie sprinted with ease to a first-place finish in the high school girls’ 800-meter race at the KU Relays on Friday at Rock Chalk Park, her elder sister, Courtney, watched with pride from above in the coaches’ box.
“I think it’s awesome,” Courtney said. “Seeing her look so relaxed and so at ease was super exciting.”
Addie is set to graduate from St. Teresa’s Academy next month before beginning her career as a runner for the Jayhawks, while Courtney graduated from KU last May following a five-year career with KU track and field.
