She does that little extra every day that a lot of kids just don't do. It's nothing in particular, it's everything ? she puts extra into everything she does.

Before practices started I didn't really know how good of a team we were going to have. But first day of practice we took BP, and I knew then. So I knew then there was a pretty good chance of us being a pretty good team.

She read some things on the Internet and that kind of helped her, fired her up. She just read some things about the race that were an incentive for her.

It's frustrating. Hopefully we can get that fifth person. She can just walk the course if she wants. I thought having these two top runners, would bring some more girls out, but that hasn't been the case.

This whole day is a great experience for the kids.

Our kids just really wrestled well all day long. We had a few letdowns, but for the most part our kids wrestled hard.
