shayla won her event at the vermont meet of champions. she only ran the 300 hurdles because she was seeded in that race. she was nervous the night before, and brian saiid she didn't feel like she warmed up enough, but hopefully she'll warm up a little on saturday. send good, strong, fast thoughts for the new england meet for her!

she, herself, took it upon herself to call the track coach at smith (where she'll be next year) to see if she wanted to come watch her. and the coach said 'yes, and if i knew you were interested i would have sent you the summer workout'. i think that might have been a little bit of a shock. for one, she's got a busy summer, and for two, that may be a bit more structured workout/practice then she's used to!
