July 27, 2008 · Print This Article
My next scheduled competition is the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. There may be a possibility of a another meet in training camp. If that happens I’ll let you know. The competition dates for the women’s discus are qualifying on August 15th and the finals on August 18th. Please cheer extra loud on those days. There will be a lot of news and interesting things happening and I will blog as much as I can so check my site regularly for updates.
Here are some helpful links for more information during the Olympics.

Aretha,
Keep up the good work. I competed against you in H.S. Discus wasn’t my thing but I remeber you warming up doing your drills right before our meet at Highline Stadium. Then when I saw you throw, I was like wow this girl got skills. Very proud of your accomplishment. Rooting for you in Beijing. Good luck.
