Was there watching my nephew run for Notre Dame.  Could see her from across the field.
Congrats and good luck in Oregon.

good luck to her!!  it only takes 1 jump, so at least she is qualified, so it all starts over.  I would love to see her bring home an NCAA championship for the Herd!!  She can still do it!!
