On to the Finals! Laura and Kristen battled it out for 1st, and both will be off to Athens! I know they'll do a great job of representing the USA!
One of the best stories of the Trials was Adrienne Blewitt's comeback from cancer. She did great! She had lots of friends and family in the stands with "Blewitt Backer" t-shirts.
The collegians were well-represented. Out of the 12 finalists, five have more collegiate eligibility: Laura, Aubrey, Amarachi, Becky, and me.

The water cooler was one of the
most popular places in the mid-90's heat of Sacramento! After training in Florida, heat is not a problem! |
Getting ready to throw! Lots to think about... |
 |
 |
| The introduction of the women in the shot put! |
I know what Dad's going to
say...I didn't start low enough! |

The passes they gave all the
athletes were
especially designed with security in mind!
They also make a great souvenir! |
Dad got a pass, too! |
