“Senior Night” @ Galen Center with USC Track & Field Team
This past Wednesday, the entire men’s and women’s track and field team along with the coaches met for dinner at the Galen Center on campus for a team dinner and to have “Senior Night.” The dinner was fabulous—we had roast beef, chicken, salmon, shrimp, and of course—cake! :) We had the band come in and play “Conquest” for us and that was really exciting!
The seniors got to be honored by the coaches and the rest of the team. Each senior got some flowers (cardinal and yellow of course) and a small Trojan head that had a small plaque that had your name and also “You are a Trojan Forever” inscribed on it. I have never felt so honored and happy – it was a wonderful feeling. All the seniors had to give speeches which were all really wonderful and they all made me nearly cry. :)
Even though I have been at USC and part of the team for a year—it has felt like I have been there for four years. I have never felt such support from not only the coaches, but my teammates as well. All of the USC Track coaches have been so supportive of me—thank you for helping me become not only a better athlete—but a better person as well. Fight on! |

In case you don't know who this is, this is me with something they call a 'discus'. It's kind of like a very light shot put pancake. You sort of turn in the ring and give it an odd type of throw. The blonde Trojan on the left in this picture is Eva our star Hammer thrower. She won the women's hammer.

Here's Noah Bryant. Noah had a controversial
call on his big throw landing about 65 or 66 feet away.
The question is whether or not his right heal
glazed the top of the toe board? |
"Eagle eye" Mr. Van Pelt is keeping an eye on things. I heard that Mr. Van Pelt got married a couple of years ago and his wife isn't even a thrower! |
