My training climate
I would just like to say congratulations, and thank you for being such a great role model. I am a high school athlete and I throw the discus also. Knowing that a woman can be very successful in throwing the discus inspires me to work even harder, to hopefully someday achieve great things, like you. Throwing the discus is such an amazing and wonderful feeling isn’t it, so technical, but gracful. Seeing you throw makes me very proud and happy to know that you are representing the USA. My best wishes are with you!
P.S. I too am from Washington and am in the AA classification, like you were.
