Page5 Tyson Invitational Trackand Field 2006


Bear Bryant -- "If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, then we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games."
The shot put is done a little differently in Arkansas!

On the way back to LA—we had to go on a smaller plane and we were on the same flight as UCLA. Their team sat in front of the plane while USC sat in the back—but as one of my teammates pointed out—being in the back of the plane is where the “cool people” always sit! J Fight on!

'Leaving on a Jet Plane' -- however, unlike the song, I may be back for the NCAA's. My mark really isn't as good as I would have hoped, but maybe it might make it.	We experienced some snow flurries in Fayetteville. You really can't see them in this picture, but they are there!

Everyone wants to see what the 'SC locker rooms look like and they are very nice. Sorry, this is a PG rated newsletter!	Some of our great officials!
	Toby Keith's 'How do you like me now?' certainly seemed to be my theme returning back to Tyson! Although I didn't do as well as I liked, I received a lot of encouragement from fans, athletes and coaches on my reappearance at Tyson. Some athletes, like friends at the other 'SC (South Carolina), could not resist teasing me about my new uniform! Their coach was very gracious and welcomed me back! I don't have room to thank everyone for the kindness I was shown in my return to Tyson and to collegiate track, but thank you!

	I would like to also thank the hard working officials! They seldom get the credit for an outstanding throw or an athlete's personal record, but without them it could never happen! Thank you for all you do! -- Karen:)

Thank you all for visiting my newsletter this week and hopefully, if I make it, I will cover the NCAA Championship in a few weeks back in Arkansas. Otherwise, I will join the rest of my teammates for our first outdoor meets!
