"personal reasons" hides the context of the situation. We could be applauding her courage for being there alone, when she could be the reason the other 3 left. Not saying that's what happened here, just that we don't know.

Chances are the other three got into trouble at school, or failed a test or something that disqualified them from extracurricular activities.

I doubt the coach would have supported her to go, if she was the reason others left.

Eh, that's not really how this works though. Coaches job is to field a squad, not get in the middle of high school drama. Assuming coach doesn't have evidence of anything illegal or against school policy, coach is going to support the one remaining person still on the squad to compete.

You should read the article, you would see if the coach was her mother or not.

Why a bunch of minors didn't/couldn't compete is none of our business.
