It was an awesome year!!!!! I did the 5k walk, the mile walk and shot put. At regionals, iwon silver and my friend shanty won gold! I wlso own gold in 5 k and shot out, and my relay team made it to state. What I really liked aT regionals was the face that this guy from way south in Washington only took 4th place in the mile walk!!!! I have know him in previous events. At EVERY walking race, he starts JOGGING!!! And he gets away with it almost EVERY time!! So, I call him the runner dude!! I get a joy is he finishes less than a gold! He is really annoying!
State games was awesome!! I danced a lot at opening ceremonies. I won silver in shot put and tied for the gold with my friend and team mate, Shaneey. My realy team got 8th place. This being the 6th year in a row that my relay team finished less than a bronze medal! I was getting sick of it. The next day, I won gold in 5k walk.
In the fall, I did unified bowling with my dad, and we got 4 th place. I was so mad!! At least we were with teams only from our group.

I won a silver medal in the 5k walk in 34.21-7 minutes faster that my regional time of 41.56!! I won the gold in 800m walk with a personal best of 5:33!! That is 6 seconds faster than my personal best! I won gold in whot put with 9.62 meters!!!!! I NEVER broke the 9 meter mark!! I got into the small 8 meter scores, and I am in the 7s regularly, but 9.62 meters?! I know I lifted a 10 pound dumbell at work, and I practices with an 8 pound ball , I had tail wind, and the weather was perfect. But, WOW!!!! I applied to go to the national games next year.

2008
This year, I dedicated my entire track season to my hero, Gus Grissom. He has been my hero for a long time . I was in the relay, shot put, 800m walk and 400m walk again. After winning 3 gold and a silver at the district games,( I OWNED the 800m walk!! I even beat the guys!) I was on my way to my 10th consecutive state summer games!
We were well-behaved at the opening ceremonies and after lights out. However, a lot of my team mates and soccer players were chatting WAY too loudly among themselves, stomping up and down the stairs like elephants, and jumping off the top bunks!! We were on the top floor, the mess hall did not open until 0530-even then some people from OTHER teams did NOT need to up that early- and at 0445, my team mates were making all kinds of noise, turning on all the lights when people were still sleeping and shouting out to each other in that barracks where sound travels very well. Jumping off the top bunks makes a loud BOOMING sound downstairs, and our head coach chewed us about it.
My first event of the day was the 400m walk, and I won that with my team mate in second place. I also won shot put against 5 other women, and 5th place in relay. All the while, I wore my Apollo 1 lapel pin on my jersey.
ON Sunday, I owned the 800m walk by 75 meters!! I became a 24-time state champion!
In the fall, I won a bronze medal in bowling, gold at the local basketball games, and a bronze medal at the state winter games

2007
I fell in love with the late Dale Earnhardt this year, because I fell in love with NASCAR! He is my favorite driver. I also got a job at Olympic College. I did relay, shot put, 400m walk and 800m walk. We all had a great time at the district games. In the 800m walk, I beat the heck out of everybody! I was also the farthest female shot puter, and I beat the heck out of the 400m walk. My realy team won 5th place.
I dedicated my state games performance to Dale Earnhardt because If I won 2 more medals there, I would have 76 medals, and Dale had 76 NASCAR wins! I made my own Dale Earnhardt flag. I also dedicated my state games to the late blue angel LCDR Kevin Davis. Dale earnhardt is the Black Knight.
When the torch for the state games was lit, I raised 3 fingers of each hand up in the air to honor Dale.
I won the gold in the 400m walk in only 2 and a half minutes. I was 75% on the way to winning 100 medals!! In shot put, I won the gold in 8.2 meters!! My total medals equaled Dales' NASCAR wins. I waved my Dale flag on top of the medal podium, and raised my 3 fingers again. I had no doubt that Dale was watching me. My relay team won 4th place. I won the 800m walk on sunday, and won medal#77 whic was a gold! I was now a 22-time state champion.
I did bowling this year and won gold at the local meet and a silver at the super-regional meet.
My total medal count was an even 80.

This was a great year also. I did some different things. I was in shot put, 200m run, the mile walk with my mom and 4x400m relay. I rode the bus to the local track meet, and 2 of our guys who said they will ride the bus decided to ride down instead WITHOUT LETTING OUR HEAD COACH KNOW, so they kept a busload of people waiting!! ANyways, I won 3 gold medals at the meet. Even if I only got ribbons, I would have STILL gone on to state because of the mile walk with my mom.
On Saturday, mom and I were the ONLY unified team to do the mile walk in the whole state, so we won gold of course, and I won silver in shot put AGAIN!! RRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! ON sunday, I won gold in the 200m run and silver in the mile relay. I was a 16-time state champion.
