So? I didn't make it to level six until I was a freshman in HS. It really doesn't matter how old you are if you want to keep going!

U of A as in University of Arizona? Did you go to Tumbleweeds, because I know Kim Bird passed away recently. If he was your coach you were an extremely lucky young lady to have a coach like Kim. He was a very dear friend of mine and I miss him. Its kind of strange going to meets in Arizona this year without his amazing personality there.

I also said im going to be the one skipping the prom to go to open gym. But im sure all my teammates would force me to go to the prom lol

I know! During track, I missed gym fairly often and everyone asked my sister if I quit!

I'm in gym because I just love everything about it, even the bad things. I think it's kind of like a part of me after ten years of it!!!
