I am rooting for her she is one of the better sprint type gals we have seen in a while.

I like running them when a race comes up that fits them. If they aren't physically healthy, then don't run them but if it's just a conditioning issue, run them. If you wait til they are 100% everytime to run them, they end up running 2-3 times a year.

THunders Dove is the Key Great sheet Numbers coming into the Race

That was a fun race to watch. The champ was tenacious in the lane. The up and comer gave her all she had. Fun race.

Outstanding effort by Indian Blessing, definitely the type of race she needed off of the dull two earlier this year. Final time was very strong to boot, 1:15.29.
