Utah—here we come! Next up for me is the NCAA West Regionals at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I have never been to Utah, so it will be a new state for me! :)


No one thought we would win the Pac 10! There was all this talk about the fact that we were an Big Championship team but couldn't do 'nothin in the conference. Getting the Bronze was very cool, but we women had to get a lot of firsts, seconds and big points from unusual places to do it! Yeah, we beat UCLA, too!	USC vs. UCLA It never ends!!!
*Isn't this the greatest!*

I was able to capture a couple of great pictures of the guys as they began to celebrate their well earned win! There were so many surprises that it is hard to point to only one person or event that made a difference, but I would like to recognize Noah and Will who took 1st and 3rd against some fearsome competition when NO one would have given them a chance. Congratulations! PS. Will Denbo, I won't tell any of my friends in the SEC that you came from Tennessee!

What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter. --Peter Drucker

Carol and Jessica about to make their moves and go 1st and 6th in the 200m!	I am a big Harry Potter fan -- in fact my entire family is! This sign tempted me! :)
Academics Count The real purpose of going to college is to do something with your life when track is all over. There is nothing sadder than an athlete who keeps at it year after year with the hope of reaching the big time. Sometimes this happens, but more often than not it doesn't. So, the only advice I can offer is to try to always keep your options open. If you are reaching for that 'golden ring' in the track and field world, I would suggest that you do everything you can to develop your skills in other areas as well. As for me, I am in grad school in Strategic public Relations at 'SC's Annenberg. It's challenging as you can see from my finals on the right, but it is a wonderful opportunity. Make opportunities for yourself by always having and developing options!	Good Luck to all!< Karen:)
the journey is the reward. --Taoist saying
