Brenda Ray

Brenda Ray

Class of 1978

I had the privilege of coaching Brenda Ray for 4 years at Comstock High School. Brenda was truly the most gifted athlete I was blessed to coach. She had the physical skills along with the mental attitude and desire to achieve some amazing things throughout her high school career. Her times were so amazing that she has kept her records for 32 years. Brenda is currently the CHS record holder in the 400 meter dash, 800 meter run, 1600 meter run, 3200 meter run and 1600 meter relay composed of Kerry Copeland, Kim Kik, Julie Lierman and Brenda Ray. Brenda was all about doing what it took to be great and giving the credit to others. She always found time for others and had congratulations for jobs well done. Brenda was the main contributing reason our women’s track and field team won the MHSAA Regional in 1977. It was my privilege and honor to have coached Brenda.  Pat Ashby
