Shine was not even a sure thing to run in the championship after waking up with a sore Achilles tendon.
"When I woke up, I could hardly walk so naturally I was heartbroken," Shine said. "But thankfully, Tommy Lynn, my physical therapist, was able to help me and so was the trainer at the meet. By the time everything was done, I had only 30 minutes to stretch, warm up and get to the starting line. When the gun went off, my adrenaline must have taken over and masked most of the pain.
"I was thrilled to win the race, but more importantly I was happy that my team won."
