Sadia at National JO's

Teammate Sadia Ibrahim finished 6th in the 800 meters at the Junior Olympic National Championships last Saturday, July 31, at Hughes Stadium in Sacramento. Sadia ran the 800 in 2:19.76. Her 6th placed finish put her on the awards podium and made her an All American in the Intermediated division (14, 15 yr olds). Congratulations, Sadia. That makes Sadia the 9th fastest freshman ever in the girls 800 meters in the Redwood Empire and second fastest freshman ever at SRHS behind only Julia Stamps.

Camp Memories

Doug and I are working on posting some highlights from camp. In the meantime, enjoy my haikus from the "Talent" Show!

Chasing the Moonlight, Part 1: From Evvy's Perspective
Sitting on the bridge
Oops! My hat's in the water
I'll take off my pants

Chasing the Moonlight, Part 2: From the Hat's Perspective
Yikes! This water's cold
Why is she in her undies?
I miss her soft hair

Ice, Ice, Baby
Ice bath in the boat
Frozen toes, calves, knees, thighs, hips
It's NOT child abuse

Mer?
His name is Kevin
He eats flaming marshmallows
Pirateer King, mer?

Grasshopper
Evil redwoods stare
Super mile, rabid bees, cramps
We're invincible!
