    Angleton youth football teams prepare for Super Bowl | Sports

    ANGLETON — Angleton will be in action in two of the five Bay Area Football League Super Bowls.

    The Wildcats’ sophomore and junior teams will play Dec. 7 at Rice University Stadium. Angleton’s sophomore team, seeking back-to-back titles, will play the Bay Area Buccaneers, while the Wildcats’ junior squad takes on the League City 49ers.

    The sophomore team, made up of 9-year-olds, learned how difficult it is to defend a title this season.

    “Coming into the season, the kids were going through the motions thinking they would not play us because we won a Super Bowl before,” sophomore head coach Deon Brown said.

    Injuries only added to the rigors of returning to the title game.

    “It’s been a little tough this year because we had a lot of injuries,” Brown said. “Concussion, swollen knees and a lot of adversity dealing with injuries.”

    The Wildcats enter the Super Bowl with an 11-1 record after finishing the regular season 9-1 and winning two playoff games. Angleton, the second seed, beat La Porte 20-12 in the semifinals.

    In a regular season matchup Sept. 21, Angleton lost to Bay Area, 12-7.

    “Losing to Bay Area woke us up,” Brown said. “We’ve been on the up and up since then.”

    The Wildcats’ health improved, and Brown felt the team played their best ball in the postseason.

    “We started getting a couple of kids back, and we started playing football how we normally play,” Brown said. “We’re prepared better, and I feel like the kids understand what is at stake.”

    Angleton’s team remained mostly intact after jumping from freshman to sophomore, and Brown hoped to keep the group together throughout the youth league years.

    “We’re going to finish out with this,” Brown said. “It’s a great group of kids and coaching staff. We had a couple of new kids that came along, and it’s a great group.”

    Jaxsen Guzman has been the team’s quarterback since pee wee, leading an offense with running back Rydar Caldwell, A.J. Goins Jr. and Ataron Brown Jr. The Wildcats have a utility weapon in Dakota Haynes.

    The Junior Wildcats entered the postseason as the top seed with a 9-1 record, earning first in a three-way tie with Bay Area and Hitchcock. Angleton lost its regular-season meeting with Hitchcock and had hoped to meet the team again in the Super Bowl, but instead, it will have to go through the 49ers.

    League City is the surprise of the postseason in the junior division. It entered as the seventh seed with a 7-3 record and knocked off Bay Area and Hitchcock in back-to-back weeks.

    Angleton beat the 49ers, 21-7, in the regular season.

    “We created a couple of turnovers, and we were able to move the ball down the field,” junior head coach Kavion Campbell said.

    The game plan will feature some twists to maximize the talent of the quarterback, tight end and fullback.

    “We’re going to add a few wrinkles,” Campbell said. “Make them have to think a little bit.”

    Jaden Ward is the team’s quarterback and will often look to get the ball into the hands of running back Shedrick Johnson. Johnson earned BAFL co-most valuable player honors with League City’s Cayden Williams.

    Julius McBeth is one of Angleton’s team captains. Cam West, Chris Anderson and Deuce Hawkins are other key Wildcat players.

    “We have a couple of key players that will come to play,” Campbell said.

    Campbell has been this group’s coach for the past four years since they entered Angleton’s youth football organization at the age of 6.

    “It’s truly a blessing to see those kids mature as they get older,” Campbell said. “As football players, it’s unbelievable to see the growth in their abilities.”

    Staying together through the years was important to the head coach.

    “It means a lot to me because I know that they’re taught well, and they won’t be left behind when they get older and reach junior high football,” Campbell said. “We teach them to be respectful at home and to do well in the classroom.”

    Angleton won against the Manvel Texans in the first round of the playoffs and beat the Southeast Wildcats, 41-14, in the semifinals.

    With all the years together, Angleton has been able to add to its playbook continually.

    “Same group of core kids, but not all the kids,” Campbell said. “It’s fun to add pieces and see them grow. They’re resilient and work together.”

    Both teams will play on the collegiate field, which obviously has the team excited.

    “They’re very excited and can’t wait,” Campbell said.

  • Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey Team Sweeps Home And Home Series Vs. Gillette; Prepare For Return Trip To Great Falls – Sheridan Media

    Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey Team Sweeps Home And Home Series Vs. Gillette; Prepare For Return Trip To Great Falls – Sheridan Media

    The Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey Team took care of business against one team that was trying to catch up to them in the standings, and are now getting ready to play another team that’s right behind them.

    This past weekend, the team won a home and home series vs. Gillette with scores of 8-3 and 8-4.

    Josh Serino scored hat tricks in both games.

    Head Coach J.J. Santagata says when the games were being played 5-on-5, the Hawks did great, but work is needed on both sides of the power play.

    “I think we just came out, we just executed little details, face off plays were really great, getting pucks to the net were great, finding 2nd and 3rd opportunities were great. I think our special teams honestly were really really bad this weekend, but to walk away with 4 points and only score 1 power play goal and let up 3 penalty kill goals is obviously not ideal, but still walk away with 4 points and I think 5 on 5 we played really well, so I was happy with that.”

    Up next is another trip to Great Falls, Montana.

    The Americans are right behind Sheridan for 2nd place in the NA3HL Frontier Division, and are the only team so far to have success vs. first place Helena.

    Coach Santagata adds these 2 teams have split their 4 head-to-head games so far this season, and the Hawks are expecting a challenging weekend.

    “They have some new guys since we haven’t seen them in about a month, so we know they’re going to be a good team, coming off beating Helena 1-0 in Helena and then winning their last 3 games as well. They’re an extremely good team, they play a good structure, they’re physical, they’re simple, so we know we’re going into a dogfight. It’s going to be a game that is going to basically be like a playoff atmosphere, so we’re just going to treat it like it’s round 1 of the playoffs and we just got to get 1 game done at a time and hopefully just take care of Friday night and see what happens Saturday.”

    The puck drops at Great Falls on both Friday and Saturday at 7:05pm.

    The Hawks will be back at home on Friday and Saturday, December 6th and 7th vs. Cody.

    Hawks vs. Gillette Recap: (Courtesy: Sheridan Hawks)

    The Sheridan Hawks and Gillette Wild played a home and away weekend series, but while they split the travel the Hawks took both the wins.

    Friday night the Hawks played before a home crowd at the Whitney Rink in the M&M’s Center. 

    Early in the first period, Sheridan’s Josh Serino got things started with a goal, assisted by Zach Longnecker and Vincent Leaf.

    Kiefer Dunham got the Hawks another goal with assists from Daniel Shelden and Elijah Farris.

    The Wild weren’t out of the fight though, and tied it up to initiate the second period with a goal from Tai Kontrec to put the Wild on the board, and then one from Brady Johnson to even it up.

    Derek Laite, assisted by Logan Hume and Connor Hulett, added another goal for Sheridan to move them ahead again. 

    Longnecker got assisted by Leaf and Serino to move the Hawks backup by two to end the period.

    In the third, Hume with help from Kadin Edwards and Gavin Elliott got a goal, and Serino, assisted by Leaf and Longnecker, added another.

    Gillette kept up the pressure though, and Brady Johnson netted the puck a minute later to bring the game a little closer. 

    But the Hawks responded by adding to their lead with one from Tyler Kemp, with help from Vlad Zubriichuk and Ernest Allen.

    Serino then scored another, his third of the night, assisted by Leaf and Hume, to end the game with a final score of 8 to 3. 

    Hawks goalie John Simon made 44 saves for the Sheridan Hawks in the win.

    Saturday night the Hawks made the trip east to play before an excited group of Gillette fans. 

    Once again the game was fast paced and hard fought, with the action being much closer than the final score would suggest. 

    The Sheridan Hawks got off to a fast start, scoring each of the first three goals of the game.

    First off to put the biscuit in the basket was Eli White on a power play, assisted by Keifer Dunham. 

    Serino followed up two minutes later, with an assist by Longnecker, to move the Hawks to a 2-0 lead going into the 2nd period. 

    Keeping up the momentum, Dunham got one by the Wild netminder off an assist from Charlie Stow two minutes into the start of the period. 

    However, the Gillette Wild stormed back to make a game of it. In fact, they tied the game 3-3 heading into the third period, two of them on power plays from a Hawks slashing and then an interference call.  

    In addition, the Hawks lost the bench services of Head Coach JJ Santagata who was ejected following an attempt to dispute a fighting call and game ejection of Vincent Leaf. 

    But the Hawks players didn’t let that phase them and came roaring back into the game with a short handed goal from Serino, assisted by Logan Sidlauskas. 

    Zubriichuk scored next, with help from Serino and a Sean Harris to regain a 2 point Sheridan lead. 

    Hume then added another assisted by Allen to solidify the advantage. 

    The Wild managed just one more goal and then it was the Hawks the rest of the way with two unassisted goals, one from Serino and the last from Hume to make it 8-4 and put another one in the win column.

    Josh Serino scored a hat trick while adding an assist to lead his team to victory away from home, his second of the weekend and his 3rd hatty in his past three games. 

    Once again Simon had a great night between the pipes, stopping 33 shots for the win.

    Sheridan currently is at 15-5-2-0 and holds the second seed in the Frontier Division. 

    Serino holds on to his place as top goal scorer in the league and third in total points. 

    The Hawks are away this weekend to play the Great Falls Americans and return home on December 6 & 7 when they host the Yellowstone Quake in their final games before the NA3HL Showcase in Blaine, MN and the holiday break.

  • Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey Team Sweep Home Series Vs. Cody; Prepare For Home-And-Home Series Vs. Gillette – Sheridan Media

    Sheridan Hawks Junior Hockey Team Sweep Home Series Vs. Cody; Prepare For Home-And-Home Series Vs. Gillette – Sheridan Media

    The Sheridan Hawks were able to fine tune a few things in their home weekend sweep of Cody.

    The Hawks won on Friday 8-1 and on Saturday 5-1, to improve their record to 13-7 on the season, and that puts the team in 2nd place in the NA3HL’s Frontier Division.

    Elijah Farris says the team was able to get the bench players some playing time and those players went out and proved themselves.

    “We got a lot of new guys in the lineup this weekend and I think they all went out and showed that they deserved to be on the team and can make the lineups each night on those bigger and more important games and I think playing simple hockey is what’s going to keep us going.”

    Zach Longnecker says once Sheridan had their games in hand, players looked a little bit ahead to which team is next on the schedule.

    “We were just kind of working on the little things, getting ready for Gillette this weekend and just starting to get ready for showcase, coming up here soon, so we’re just focused on the little things like just getting the puck in the deep part of rims, just stuff like that.”

    The Hawks play a home and home series this weekend vs. Gillette.

    Friday’s home game is scheduled to start at 7:30pm, while Saturday’s road game is scheduled to start at 7:05pm.

    Cody at hawks Recap: (Courtesy: Sheridan Hawks)

    The Sheridan Hawks were home to the Yellowstone Quake Friday and Saturday nights as they honored our veterans with Military Appreciation Weekend! 

    The players wore special military themed jerseys that were auctioned off with proceeds to benefit the Wyo WEST Warrior Foundation, a local organization dedicated to supporting veterans and their families. 

    On Friday night, the Hawks opened the scoring 1:36 into the first period on a goal by Elijah Farris and continued to dominate the ice the rest of the night. 

    Sheridan put another three on the board in the opening frame.

    The Hawks added another in the second and three more in the third period for a final score of 8-0.

    The Hawks fired 59 shots at the Quake goalies while John Simon earned the shutout stopping all 14 shots.

    Josh Serino was one the Hawks who had a multi-point night with a hat trick and one helper.

    Saturday continued the trend with the Hawks outshooting Yellowstone six to one. 

    The Hawks threw nearly 80 shots on goal against the Quake in this contest, scored five times as a result, and skated away with a win as they held Yellowstone to 13 total shots on goal.

    Quake goalie Hayden Laforet had a stellar game, allowing only 4 to get by him out of 77 shots he faced, but with the repeated peppering the win went to Sheridan despite his effort. 

    Forward Josh Serino scored a goal and two assists to lead the effort offensively for the hosting Hawks. 

    Ryan Rainey ended the night in the net with the W and a save percentage of 0.92,

    Serino’s Friday night hat trick and additional goal on Saturday put him as the top goal scorer in the league so far this season with 20 goals in 20 games, and 4th in points with 37.

  • Sheridan And Big Horn HS Football Teams Prepare For 2024 Semifinals Vs. Natrona And Lovell – Sheridan Media

    Sheridan And Big Horn HS Football Teams Prepare For 2024 Semifinals Vs. Natrona And Lovell – Sheridan Media

    In the semifinals, both Sheridan and Big Horn will rematch a team that they each faced nearly 2 months ago.

    Sheridan: The Broncs defeated Natrona County on the road in middle September 29-7, in a game which neither team scored in the 2nd half.

    Since then, the opposition has had time to rebuild and has put together what is now the #1 defense in 4A and #3 defense in all of Wyoming 11-man football.

    Sheridan Head Coach Jeff Mowry says he’s noticed what NC has done differently, and the Broncs are going to have to think fast, because the Mustangs can and will switch strategies as the game goes on.

    “They were predominantly a 4-man front with a 1-high safety in the first time we played them and then moved into a 3-man front 2-high safety in the 2nd half and then we’ve seen quite a bit of that in the 2nd half of the season. They’re mixing in between the 3-man front and the 4-man front and our offense has really got to pay attention to that. We have some things that we think we can attack in the 3-man front and then some things that we can attack in the 4-man front, but our team has to be able to identify that. We’ve got to be able to see it on the fly, and we’ve got to be able to make adjustments in the play. We think we have some things, but there’s only one way to find out, and we’ll get out there and I think the thing we’ve got to do is we got to get the ball in our play-makers hands and try to get them in a little bit of space, and if we can get them in space in a 1-on-1 situation, our guys to a good job of making tacklers miss and running through tacklers.”

    Kickoff in Sheridan on Saturday is scheduled for 1pm.

    As big as the history is between these 2 teams, the home team has won every time in the post-season, not counting when they’ve played each other in the state championship game at Laramie (6 times at Sheridan, 6 times at Natrona County).

    Big Horn: Big Horn and Lovell will meet in the 2A semi-finals on Friday at BH.

    Kickoff is scheduled for 4pm.

    The Rams won on the road in Bulldog country 2 months ago, but a lot has changed between then and now.

    Lovell is led by quarterback Davin Crosby who averages nearly 226 passing yards per game, which is tops in 2A, and 3rd in all of Wyoming 11-man football.

    Big Horn Head Coach Kirk McLaughlin says he’s well aware of the passing threat, and the Rams defense can’t put 100% of their focus on just the opposing QB.

    “They got a good scheme and they got great athletes. Their quarterback, the Crosby kid, really good football player. Smart, but he’s got a good offensive line to protect him, and then he’s got just athletes out there he can throw it to and they do some good things, but you can’t overlook them from the run game perspective either. They’ve got threats there. They may not be the top rushing team in the state, but they are good enough running the ball that they keep you honest.”

    This is the 3rd year in a row that these 2 teams have played each other in both the regular and postseason.

  • One Tech Tip: How to prepare your online accounts for when you die

    One Tech Tip: How to prepare your online accounts for when you die

    LONDON — Most people have accumulated a pile of data — selfies, emails, videos and more — on their social media and digital accounts over their lifetimes. What happens to it when we die?

    It’s wise to draft a will spelling out who inherits your physical assets after you’re gone, but don’t forget to take care of your digital estate too. Friends and family might treasure files and posts you’ve left behind, but they could get lost in digital purgatory after you pass away unless you take some simple steps.

    Here’s how you can prepare your digital life for your survivors:

    The iPhone maker lets you nominate a “ legacy contact ” who can access your Apple account’s data after you die. The company says it’s a secure way to give trusted people access to photos, files and messages. To set it up you’ll need an Apple device with a fairly recent operating system — iPhones and iPads need iOS or iPadOS 15.2 and MacBooks needs macOS Monterey 12.1.

    For iPhones, go to settings, tap Sign-in & Security and then Legacy Contact. You can name one or more people, and they don’t need an Apple ID or device.

    You’ll have to share an access key with your contact. It can be a digital version sent electronically, or you can print a copy or save it as a screenshot or PDF.

    Take note that there are some types of files you won’t be able to pass on — including digital rights-protected music, movies and passwords stored in Apple’s password manager. Legacy contacts can only access a deceased user’s account for three years before Apple deletes the account.

    Google takes a different approach with its Inactive Account Manager, which allows you to share your data with someone if it notices that you’ve stopped using your account.

    When setting it up, you need to decide how long Google should wait — from three to 18 months — before considering your account inactive. Once that time is up, Google can notify up to 10 people.

    You can write a message informing them you’ve stopped using the account, and, optionally, include a link to download your data. You can choose what types of data they can access — including emails, photos, calendar entries and YouTube videos.

    There’s also an option to automatically delete your account after three months of inactivity, so your contacts will have to download any data before that deadline.

    Some social media platforms can preserve accounts for people who have died so that friends and family can honor their memories.

    When users of Facebook or Instagram die, parent company Meta says it can memorialize the account if it gets a “valid request” from a friend or family member. Requests can be submitted through an online form.

    The social media company strongly recommends Facebook users add a legacy contact to look after their memorial accounts. Legacy contacts can do things like respond to new friend requests and update pinned posts, but they can’t read private messages or remove or alter previous posts. You can only choose one person, who also has to have a Facebook account.

    You can also ask Facebook or Instagram to delete a deceased user’s account if you’re a close family member or an executor. You’ll need to send in documents like a death certificate.

    The video-sharing platform says that if a user has died, people can submit a request to memorialize the account through the settings menu. Go to the Report a Problem section, then Account and profile, then Manage account, where you can report a deceased user.

    Once an account has been memorialized, it will be labeled “Remembering.” No one will be able to log into the account, which prevents anyone from editing the profile or using the account to post new content or send messages.

    It’s not possible to nominate a legacy contact on Elon Musk’s social media site. But family members or an authorized person can submit a request to deactivate a deceased user’s account.

    Besides the major online services, you’ll probably have dozens if not hundreds of other digital accounts that your survivors might need to access. You could just write all your login credentials down in a notebook and put it somewhere safe. But making a physical copy presents its own vulnerabilities. What if you lose track of it? What if someone finds it?

    Instead, consider a password manager that has an emergency access feature. Password managers are digital vaults that you can use to store all your credentials. Some, like Keeper,Bitwarden and NordPass, allow users to nominate one or more trusted contacts who can access their keys in case of an emergency such as a death.

    But there are a few catches: Those contacts also need to use the same password manager and you might have to pay for the service.

  • Women’s FAI Cup final preview: Sport’s finest actors prepare for trilogy and they demand an audience

    Women’s FAI Cup final preview: Sport’s finest actors prepare for trilogy and they demand an audience

    It didn’t take a marketing genius to slap the ‘trilogy’ tag on this one, but then again many can recall a time when the marketing genius wouldn’t have been asked.

    That alone may not be enough to guarantee, as Shelbourne veteran Pearl Slattery demands, “bums on seats”.

    Despite being the most thrilling of their first pair of finals, last year’s penalty shoot-out win for the midlanders, as decorative a decider as one could possibly have conceived, attracted just 3,526.

    More than 4,000 tickets had been sold, however, which obviously meant hundreds simply decided not to bother turning up.

    It represented a startling dip in a calendar year that saw Ireland’s women participate in a maiden World Cup and draw 35,000 to the Aviva Stadium.

    The previous year, there had been a second successive record crowd of 5,073, a relatively modest boast but nonetheless encouraging, who had watched Shelbourne clinch the double their great rivals are eyeing this afternoon.

    But how many will be there to see it?

    In a week when an existential debate has taken place about the value of validation, the purported sluggish sales may not augur well.

    The storm clouds whipped up by this week’s startling moons may give way to bright skies tomorrow afternoon, and one would hope that a buoyant crowd can show up too.

    Aside from the sporting bandwagons of Olympics and World Cups, grassroots female sport still struggles to occupy the hearts and minds of supporters, particularly female fans.

    The heartening campaigns to promote female sport, from print to broadcast, has not been mirrored by similar levels of engagement when one moves into the shadows, away from the spotlights shining on Rhasidat and Kellie and Katie.

    Those who operate away from the mainstream are enormously appreciative of those who seek to expose efforts undertaken mostly for the sheer love of sport, not for financial or personal gain.

    Some even agree that the coverage is often disproportionate; it remains a bugbear that so much of it tends towards being patronising, as opposed to being a true celebration of sport on deserved merits.

    Truly, Tallaght will tomorrow undeniably stage an event that demonstrates the pinnacle of the sport at a domestic level.

    For those who are engaged, the intensity of the affair will not disappoint, even if cup finals always bear a caveat that the occasion may suffocate potential quality.

    However, the narrative alone is captivating; Athlone, the Cinderella club only formed at the beginning of this decade, seeking to compile a double last garnered by Shelbourne in the pair’s first of three finals.

    Even if already champions, Athlone retain the element of fairytale, such has been their meteoric rise, particularly within a soccer landscape so lamentably barren for generations.

    Shelbourne didn’t win anything last year and, perhaps chiming with the former international who helms their men’s side, feel a little unappreciated.

    “I don’t think we get the credit we deserve,” noted Slattery during a week when each side freely submitted to a novel rivalry now fully emergent.

    “We are very hungry too,” notes Athlone boss Ciarán Kilduff. “That’s what we’ve based everything on. You talked earlier about bringing success out of Dublin, of course the objective is to break that dominance when you’re from the midlands.

    “That is our fuel. But they have their fuel. We won the league, they came so close. They deserve success. They have a really, really good team. And we respect them. We don’t fear them. But we respect them.”

    We have always admired gifted, deft Shels midfielder Noelle Murray but there are so many others to enthral.

    ​Sharpshooters Kate Mooney for the Dubliners and Athlone striker Brenda Ebika Tabe, or those who seek to quell them, Jesi Rossman and Slattery.

    Shels’ Leah Doyle and Athlone’s Kellie Brennan in opposition on the flanks; we suspect Athlone will seek to dominate possession in an initial 3-5-2, Shels maybe starting cautiously in a 3-4-2-1, albeit fiercely pressing off the ball.

    Last year’s final was a wildly vacillating affair; an early fillip for either could prompt another wondrous whirligig.

    A win each and a draw this season hints at the finest margins that, once more, may require a conclusion from 12 yards.

    Hopefully they find an audience befitting such drama.

    Athlone Town v Shelbourne, Live, tomorrow, RTÉ2, 3.0

    What Makes Potli Biryani Unique?

    Potli biryani features basmati rice, vegetable gravy, and fried onions – all packed in a banana leaf. This gives the biryani a unique presentation, making it ideal to serve at lunch or dinner parties. The addition of vegetable gravy further adds to its uniqueness. Plus, it’s super easy to make, so there’s no reason not to give it a try.

    What To Serve With Potli Biryani?

    Potli biryani tastes best when served with raita or salan. Since yoghurt is naturally cool, it helps balance the richness and spice of the biryani. We recommend pairing onion raita or pudina raita with the biryani, but feel free to use any other raita of your choice. And if you can tolerate spice, a bowl of spicy salan is the best option for you. Don’t forget to have some sliced onions on your plate.

    How To Make Potli Biryani At Home | Potli Biryani Recipe

    Making potli biryani at home is quite simple. To begin with, heat oil in a pan and add whole spices, ginger-garlic paste, and onions. Mix well. Then, add in tomatoes, carrots, beans, dry spices, curd, and salt. Give it a good mix and add chopped coriander, mint, and water. Cover the pan with the lid and allow it to cook for a few minutes. Now, place two banana leaves on top of each other and start assembling the biryani by adding one layer of boiled basmati rice. After this, add a layer of the prepared vegetable gravy, birista (fried onions), coriander, and a final layer of rice. Top it with kesar milk, birista, and coriander, fold it as a parcel, and tie it with a kitchen thread. Place the parcel in a hot steamer for about 10-12 mins. Serve hot and enjoy!

    Sharlene Mawdsley: I’d love to be able to run full-time to prepare for 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

    Some plans are best torn up.

    “It’s funny because I had told people that I was going to retire after 2024 if I went to the Olympics or if I didn’t, but obviously that has changed,” Mawdsley says. “If I can have running as my full-time job until [LA] 2028, I’ll be pretty pleased.”

    The Tipperary woman had a breakthrough season both as an individual and as a relay anchor-leg runner. There was bronze in the mixed 4x400m relay at the World Relays in the Bahamas in May.

    Gold and silver in the mixed and women’s relay at the European Championships in Rome where she was also a 400m finalist. She got the qualifying standard for the 400m for Paris where she ran a lifetime best of 50.71 to finish fourth in her heat and she just missed out on qualifying for the semi-final.

    But that wasn’t the huge heart-breaking story of fourth place in Paris. That came the day of her 26th birthday in the final of the 4x400m relay. Mawdsley ran the anchor leg, recorded her fastest ever split of 49.14, but got pipped to the bronze medal by 0.18 of a second.

    No, she hasn’t watched the race back in full. She saw a clip of herself being overtaken in the back straight by Britain’s Amber Anning and that was enough.

    “It’s still a little bit raw because we were so close but there is no medal for fourth place. So no matter how close it was, we still didn’t walk away with a medal. When I saw that we would have won a medal in any other Olympics other than 1988, I kind of made peace with that. We had run out of our skins. I guess it still is fourth in the Olympics but we are still without that medal.”

    ​Ideally, Mawdsley would have wrapped her season them but she’s a professional athlete now so she had another race to run in early September in Switzerland. But it turned out that one put a pin in a pressure she’d been holding all season.

    This season Susanne Gogl-Walli has been a rival like no other for Mawdsley. This was the Austrian athlete she was adjudged to have obstructed after she overtook her in the semi-final of the World Indoors in March, and she was later controversially disqualified from competing in her first global individual final. Mawdsley raced against Gogl-Walli three times after indoors and lost all three times including in the Olympic heat when the Austrian finished ahead of her by 0.04 of a second.

    But finally in her last race of the season, Mawdsley beat Gogl-Walli – as well as Lieke Klaver – to win the Gala dei Castelli meeting in the Swiss town of Bellinzona.

    “It had come to a stage where I was kind of sensitive after World Indoors. When Susanne beat me in the Olympics, she got to go to the semi-final and I didn’t. I was like, I just have to make peace because she was living in my head rent-free at this stage. I think mentally it just took a huge weight off my shoulders because I felt at one point that I was racing one girl all the time. I needed that out of my head.

    “I even came home [after the win] and my mam had got me a cake and it said: you did it! So it was kind of big for anyone who knows me, they just knew how much it meant for me to be able to do it.”

    Mawdsley’s personal best in Paris got her the qualifying standard for next year’s World Championships in Tokyo. She is set to make changes for next year although she doesn’t confirm what those could be until she talks to her coaches after her down-time ends.

    “I want to try new things for next year so at least I’ll have that ball to play with. It might work out, it might not I don’t know, but at least there’s options there that I can try new things and we’ll see what happens.

    “I always said I wouldn’t live off the Olympics until my career is over. I had World Indoors where I got disqualified. It would have been so easy to let that ruin my whole season. I think I’ve just got so good at coming back. I think I’ve had so many bad moments that I’ve been able to fight back really well so I think that’s something I’m really good at.”
