Monday

Here's a group photo of our annual PV Breakers' lunch from this afternoon. Six of the nine team members were able to make the show. This is a great group of girls who played AAU basketball together from 5th through 8th grade. Judy, Scott and I were the coaches.

Lindsey, on the lower left, played four years as a starter for the Minnesota Golphers soccer team. They got beat last month in the NCAA tournament by ND in the Round of 16. In South Bend. In OT. On a penalty kick. In 9 degree weather at night on a field that had to be cleared of a foot of lake-effect snow. ND got to the finals later on only to be beaten by North Carolina.

.

Ashley, next to Lindsey, played four years of volleyball at the U of Colorado in Boulder. And Alisha, next to me, has played four years of softball at Central College in Pella, Iowa, a perennial D III powerhouse.

(A fourth girl, Teresa, not pictured, played four years of D-1 soccer at Northern Colorado in Greeley, a member of the Big Sky Conference.)

4 may be the only Breaker to have run a marathon, but Kelly, in pink, has done at least one half-marathon, and I see her at numerous local races.

.

More later.
