9th in the Trials! Even though the educated guessers at
Track and Field
News didn't expect me to do anything, I surprised a lot of people by finishing 6th in the Prelims
and joined 11 other women in moving to the second day of competition! On the second day I ended up in 9th! One of the differences between the Trials and most meets is that they only take 8 instead of the usual 9 on to the finals. I missed getting three more throws by 1 cm, but it was great to be there. For the Trials, I chose to
represent my hometown friends in the San Luis Obispo Distance Club... a club
for DISTANCE runners! I joke that it really is a club for throwers who want
to throw for DISTANCE! It was a fun group! |

There was a special viewing area
for coaches in front of the stands... They had a special pass that you gave your coach to get in here. |
Here we are marching out to the track! I'm the one in the long sleeve red shirt. |

So much of track is
preparation and practice. Each athlete had her own way of preparing physically and mentally. I liked getting off by myself. |
Here's
Dad in the coaches' box and me on the field! You couldn't cross the track to talk to your coach, so Dad and I used our old high school hand signals. |

Here's a view from the stands
that were set up at the end of the track. It was about 96 degrees during the Prelims! |
Here we are being escorted
onto the field, trying to look calm! |
