May, 2009 - I have finished my first year of college! During the year
I joined Delta Gamma Sorority,
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and the
St. Louis University Ladies Ultimate (SLULU).
This is an Ultimate Frisbee team. DG had meetings and events all school
year. With InterVarsity I was involved with training and activities in
many places including Kansas City and Lake of the Ozarks. SLULU competes
against other college teams all over the Midwest.
Facebook is where you will find
more information about my current activities.
January 2, 2009 - The Greensburg Daily News released the Top Ten Sports
Stories of 2008 and I came in at Number
Eight:
"Coming in at number eight was the one-two punch that the Lady Pirates’ track
team had in the discus and shot put. Senior Mollye Leas and junior Erica
Schwering gave Greensburg what amounted to a 36-point head start on its dual
meet opponents as the two girls normally placed 1-2 in the throws."
"Their ride continued until Semi-State where Schwering was the final state
qualifier in the shot put and Leas was first alternate in the discus. When a
slot opened up, she joined Schwering and Coach Dave Jackson at the state finals
in Bloomington."

- I am no longer in high school !!!
May 30, 2008 - IHSAA2007/08 Girl's Track and
Field State Finals at Indiana University:
When the Indiana High School Athletic Association failed to
fill its allocation for state qualifiers Tuesday night, Mollye Leas got a
call back to fill the 27th and final slot in the state meet to start May 30.
The field of competitors at the state competition must consist of 27
throwers. There are eight regionals and the top three of each regional
qualify for state. This equals 24 participants. The girl who finished in
fourth position at the Shelbyville Regional threw farther than the "State
Standard" of 127' 9" so she received an automatic position at state. That
filled 25 slots.
The IHSAA then looked at the next highest throw and that was 120'10" by a
girl from North Judson High School. She filled the 26th position.
Mollye threw 120’9” giving her the 27th slot.
Mollye Leas is preparing to
unleash her final throw in the discus toss. Her throw was good for
120’ 9” and was named the 27th qualifier in the state finals.
May 21, 2008 - Thanks for the sign, Dad. It looks strangely familiar.
May 21, 2008 - Correction!.
As a result of the "call back", I am going to
State in the Discus!!
The field of competitors at the state competition must consist of 27
throwers. There are 8 Regionals and the top three of each Regional qualify
for State. This equals 24 participants. The girl who finished in

filled 25 slots. The IHSAA then looked at the next highest throw and that
was 120' 10" by a girl from North Judson High School. She filled the 26th
position.
I was the 27th position and I am going to

April 3, 2008 - Today was the first outdoor track and field meet of the
season. This was a 3-way meet between Batesville, East Central and
Greensburg. The temperature was around 50° and it was raining. The
throwing rings were wet and a little slippery so my distances were not as good
as I hoped, but I still threw far enough to earn 1st
place in both the shot put and the discus.
I threw 35' 3" in the shot and 101' 2" in the discus.
Greensburg
won first and second place in the shot (Leas and Schwering) and 1st, 2nd and 3rd
in the discus (Leas, Smiley and Schwering).
“Overall, despite the conditions, I thought the
kids threw pretty well especially when you consider the conditions. Mollye
Leas won both the discus and the shot, and I was pleased with the
performance of Samantha (newspaper
error: this should actually say, Sabrina) Smiley in her first time out. She took second in the
discus and fourth in the shot,” said assistant coach Dave Jackson. “Erica
(Schwering) took second in the shot and third in the discus.”
