Boys, we can dote on you later (maybe), but for now I want to say how proud I was of our ladies team. I was VERY proud of our ladies team. Overall I thought the girls team performance was good, and are building towards what I think will be a great 2nd half to the season. After the TRHS invite I was discouraged, bummed, and even a little angry. Today was a different story. Today had great performances. Today had (mostly) healthy athletes. Today I saw some people trying some new things without complaint, and to pretty good success. I think there are a certain few athletes that might be asked to do some of those new things more often as a result.
If there is one thing I love is a little bit of toughness, especially when it comes from a freshman, and it is even better if it is a girl. Today, when I was officiating the high jump I got to watch the start of the girls 1600m run from up close. The race got off to a fast start, and somewhere in the fray young, precocious freshman Kelsey Dalton had her foot stepped on from behind. Kelsey, as a result of being human and subject to gravity, went down pretty hard. When this happens the rule is that the race should be stopped if a runner goes down in the first 100m; however, the officials did not apply this rule in this case (though I bet if that were one of the HRHS athletes that shot would have been fired before skin hit track). Like a boss, Kelsey picked herself up and continued on. As she ran by me I could see that she wanted to cry, hard. She held it together, kept going and went on to run a tough race. Nice job Kelsey!
