Uncle Fester-
You should probably do a little research before making those kind of comments. I ran track in high school, almost 30 years ago, in Class 1A. Distance was still measured in feet then, not meters. It changed during my junior year. That being said, in comparable distances, I ran the 220 yd. dash in just over 23 seconds. I ran the 100 yd. dash in just over 11 sec. I high jumped 6'1". None of those feats qualified me for state, and that was 30 years ago. The the only thing that got me to state was running a 440 yd. dash in 46 seconds. Once I got to state, that time was only good enough for third place.
This is no way trying to belittle her accomplishment! What she did, she can be very proud of. My statement is only directed to these other comments!
