USA Outdoors | Day 2
Hi from Eugene!
This is my first time as a part of the spectating group at USA's (as opposed to racing). It is hard not being ready to toe the line. But as a silver lining, it means I can spend time with the Oiselle crew, and put my full energy into supporting teammates and friends. Everyone laid it out on the line today. It gave me goose bumps. A great day to be a track fan.
Day two of USA's brought to you by the letter "C."
Cruddy...okay, muddy.
Celebrate! (happy birthday to the one and only Dr. Lesko!)
Cadence. Rebecca Tracy leading from the gun in her heat of the Women's 1500m.
Clincher. Kerri Gallagher made it through to the finals on Sunday with the third fastest time in the heats.
Courage. Lauren Wallace ran a monster PR in a stacked heat of Olympians and World medalists.

Crew.
Cards...one with every order this weekend!
