Nice work so far. Only minor quibbles are present within the article. MWright96 (talk) 11:08, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

@MWright96: I have addressed the issues pointed out. However, I could not find who already held the TSSAA record (not that important to Garland's article in my opinion) or additional information about Felicia Garland. Wisestork (talk) 16:36, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Wisestork: Alright then. This article is now at GA class. MWright96 (talk) 20:48, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
