Long name, long arm
POPLAR RIDGE - Miriam Larson-Koester is many things. A talented musician, consistent honor roll student and a fine athlete are a few. And after Friday's competition in Dryden, the junior is the new IAC champion in the discus throw.
Though she wasn't always considered a great athlete, Larson-Koester has quietly made a name for herself in Section IV track and field. Also a soccer player, she has been a participant in mostly field events since seventh grade.
“Miriam was never the kind of kid that other kids would see as an athlete,” Southern Cayuga track and field coach Bill Mullarney said. “She was a tremendous student, one of the best in her class, but she wasn't athletic. She started to play soccer, then she worked in basketball, but she wasn't as good at those things. She started to like the discus and started working on it.”
