I am absolutely destroyed by our girls' 4x100m and girls 4x400m teams not making it. They are currently ranked 19th and 21st respectively. For the 4x100, there are 3 teams tied from #16-18 at 50.23; we are #19 at 50.24. Missed it by 1/100 of a second. Grrrr.
And the girls 4x400m is even worse. At the end of todays meet I thought the 4+ second PR would be more than enough to get us in. In fact I had little doubt. Needless to say it was painful to see the ranking of 21st.
Our best hopes are that some teams will scratch their relays and we can get them in, but, to be honest, that does not happen very often. I'd love to spend another week coaching all of you.
A lot to say about the league meet we just finished, but I am too exhausted to do that. Maybe I can sit down and write about it sometime; or maybe it will end up being one of the things I write that never gets published... Our girls team could get hung up on the narrowest of margins that they lost by today, but instead I'd have them celebrate the growth they've made in one year. To do so, the first image below is from May 13, 2011, and the second is from May 12, 2012.
