My Olympic Experience Extravaganza...blog. 

Tuesday, August 05, 2008 10:29:51 AM

Hello and welcome to my blog!  

Making the Olympic team has been one of the hardest, but most rewarding experiences of my life.  I can't even begin to tell you the physical, emotional, and mental sacrifices involved in reaching this ultimate goal.  After years, and I do mean years, of hard work, ups and downs, highs and certainly lows, my dream has finally come true.  I first and foremost would love to recognize all the influential people in my life along the way who have given me strength, encouragement, and sometimes a shoulder to cry on and thank them for helping me realize my dream.

A little bit about me you may like to know.  I am a Colorado State graduate from 2005 majored in English (but please don't check my grammer and spelling!) and obviously a track athlete.  While there, I won an NCAA championship and set the NCAA record in the hammer throw.  I currently live in Eugene, OR where I train with my coach, but I've remained a loyal Ram.  I keep telling these Ducks that green and gold looks way better than green and yellow... anyway.

That being said, I am excited to share with you this wonderful and very precious experience.

Loree,

I am so proud of you! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!  You have come such a long way--from the small town of Julesburg!  I won't forget our time together as Rams--and how we always helped eachother through competitions! I still have the letter you gave me before going to the NCAA's that year, I read it once in a while when I need a pick me up.  Tell Casey I said good luck, and tell Jill Camerana good luck too--but I'm still mad about her not coming to CSU! :)

Hi Loree, congratulations!!  Can't wait to read more and watch your adventure unfold in Beijing.  I never knew I was living across the hall from an Olympian in good ol' Newsom eight years ago!  Good luck!
