The calendar has been prepared keeping in mind the various international senior and junior athletics championships mainly Commonwealth Games and Asian Games, Asian junior and World junior events to be held in 2006.

These athletes were not allowed to compete in domestic competitions that were considered as trials to qualify for the games.

The Federation Cup is used as a selection trial for the mega event and athletes have to compete there for them to be eligible for selection.

As she was doing well the Selection Committee also provided her a chance To prove her performance on March 12.

You learn how to enter those games with an open mind and just not try to do too much. The last two years I've tried to take it on myself to do stuff. It has to be a team effort.

It's been something that's been lingering in my mind for awhile. For the Stanford and Cal games, I really didn't feel comfortable , but I wanted to go out there and try and help the team get a win. It was just real sore and painful in those two games. I tried to go again last weekend and I just decided I couldn't do it the whole year, there was just too much pain.
