STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH THE W.C.S.

OUR RELAY TEAM'S FEROCIOUS
THEY GOOD LOOK'N TOO
THESE CHICKS IS JUST PHENOMINAL
AT EVERYTHING THEY DO
SO PUT THE "L" TO THE "I"
TO THE "O" TO THE "N"
YA COME UP WITH A CAT
THE LION PRIDE OF BELLARMINE!

THE FIRST LEG, SHE GET'S OUT
AND SHE'S QUICK TO PASS YOU BY.
THE SECOND LEG WILL KICK YO BUTT
AND LEAVE YOU ON THE FLY.
THE THIRD LEG'S JUST A STUD
AS SHE SPRINTS AROUND THE TURN.
BUT THE FOURTH LEG LEAVES YOU
IN HER SMOKE AND STINGIN FROM THE BURN.

I'm so proud of all of you World Class Sistah's! You made my season great and I will miss seeing you every day. Please stay in touch with me whenever you like and log on to "what tom does" to get some awesome training suggestions for off season and pre-season. Send me any jokes, videos or otherwise "super duper" funny stuff. Luv ya!

WCS!! Today was the most unsettled day of our season in my opinion. I am sorry that it went this way for us. For ALL of us! I knew when I left practice that I couldn't do a good job for you if I can't get this thing resolved. So I have resolved it. Please know that I am your biggest fan and I am always willing to advocate for you IF you are justified. I believe you are.

Here is the latest word on the issues of the day. I had a long conversation with Coach E. I expressed my frustration with his decision to handle things the way he did. He reconfirmed that our relay will be left alone unless the absolute worst case scenario hits us in Pasco and the only possibility of victory would be to run a faster 4x1.

I BELIEVE OUR ORIGINAL TEAM CAN RUN WELL ENOUGH TO DO THE JOB! DO YOU HEAR ME? THE COOL POINTS ARE OUT THE WINDOW (that's from Queen Latifa) I AM TELLING YOU THAT I BELIEVE IN YOU, AS I ALWAYS HAVE. I HAVE INVESTED IN YOU ALL SEASON LONG AND I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU ALL BELIEVED IN YOURSELVES (AND ME) TOO. LET'S JUST GO AND KICK BUTT (EVEN IF IT'S WINDY) AND DO THE JOB WITH OUR ORIGINAL SHORTIES. BESIDES....YOU'VE INVESTED TOO. WE NEED TO REPRESENT THERE! WHEN BELLARMINE GETS ON THE BUS TO COME BACK TO TACOMA, THE WCS WILL BE ALL THE BUZZ! YOU GIRLS WILL BE WHO THEY ARE ALL TALKIN ABOUT. WE NEED TO STAY UNITED AND REMEMBER HOW HARD WE'VE WORKED TO GET HERE.

I REALLY DO LUV U GUYS! SEE YA TOMORROW (ON TIME).

FIRST DAY OF LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS!

AH HA!!!! Just as I thought. The WCS is the big surprise in the league. Soon to be the queens of the District and the Speed Diva's of the STATE!!!! Yeow! You ladies are amazing! Even with a couple of questionable hand offs and a sleepy start or two, you chewed em' up and spit em' out.

Walking out of the track last night I was thinking about how proud I was of all of you and how hard you've been working for this glory you are about to embark on. I reflected on how you "Represented" yesterday; how you stuck together and how you supported one another. I thought about the uniform conflict and how important (or unimportant) that was to your performances. I thought about how you were effected by outside forces that were unchangeable and how your attitudes toward them could have affected your ability to achieve your goals.

Then....I locked my keys in my trunk!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh!!! It was about to become a bad day. But....no. All in all....nothing could tarnish the great day that we had as a team of "Sistah's."

It's funny how God makes it so you can look back on your day and see that it was a mixture of good things and bad things that happened, and then he leaves it up to you to decide whether it was a good day or a bad day. What's even funnier is that He makes it so that you CAN decide each morning that you wake up and put your feet on the floor that it is a good day. Then nothing else matters.

See you all at practice. We will prepare for day 2 of League.
