When I watched one of your discus throwers at practice during last year's season, I noticed some things that made me feel she showed a lot of promise.
Later, I remarked to the other coaches (and to the athlete herself) that I thought she could be really special as a thrower someday, though she would of course need to do the hard work required of a champion.
Her performance at the national track meet last year was not a source of pride for her, unfortunately. Even great track athletes don't necessarily win every time.
But now that the results are in for this year's national meet, I'd just like to point out that the young lady is the #2 thrower in the country...and it's only her junior year.
This is me bragging, with no shame and no apology.
