Your girl has a wide fanbase and - among the caliber that was at that meet - fourth is amazing. As is 9:46. Relays are hard - I only ever did one and was shocked that I was asked to do a second but I declined. It is so easy to DQ in those things.
I was in awe with the event turnout-- somewhere in the 5,000 athlete headcount so to place is a big deal and I strongly believe that if the original team of 4×8 runners were in attendance they would've medaled. The range of emotions from athletes and spectators was far reaching-- tears of joy and tears of defeat abound. I stood next to a very reserved mother and father as they watched their daughter become a national record champion in the 60m dash. Fist bumps and hugs to people who were complete strangers just moments before.
Yes, plenty of sectional invites but this is her first national competition.
Amazing. I absolutely love the vibe of those events and your girl sounds impressive.
Wow, she closed that gap, then opened as much of a gap. WOW!!!

Genesee is half the name of our school district. The announcers in the booth anunciated it properly while the infield announcer kept referring to them as Team Geneese...it was the running joke (pun totally intended) that these kids were taking names while nobody even knew what theirs was.Wow, she closed that gap, then opened as much of a gap. WOW!!!
Now about the team name...Genesee?? Beer?!? I thought you were a whiskey drinker!
A good approach, however taking your time in a race usually doesn't work very well.
Most days she's quite the handful- being polite here. Our youngest and only girl is a bad combination, especially financially.
Crossing fingers for you. Of course, remember that some Ivy league schools don't offer financial scholarships for sports. If she wanders in that direction, it might be Cadillacs for Kias and your bourbon stock for Busch Light.
Who said anything about a new Kia?
I'm explaining to her the advantages of D2 schools over D1 when it boils down to costs. We have her bank rolled, I mean enrolled, into some scouting programs and she's been receiving alot of traffic on her page as well as letters already.Crossing fingers for you.

That's a month of Sundays in these here parts...
Regrettably no room here for a Monday loaded up with five Fridays every week. I had a regular Benchmark a year or more back, but it was sweet and 'unbourbony' enough I had to check the label make sure it wasn't from Tennessee. It was I think a ?Buffalo Trace? like the rest of your catch there (read i.e. daily catch)

On a parallel front, my oldest son is graduating from college with his Bachelors degree this spring and will be moving out to attend Graduate school working towards his Masters. That institutions graduate program reached out to him today offering him a tuition scholarship and a stipend to serve as a TA.Crossing fingers for you.
