Becca Friday & Sophie Curl to run in Junior Nationals

OK, I know this isn't about tennis or something at our club, but I am just so proud of two fantastic young women who are competing in 800m at the USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships this weekend (June 25-28) in Eugene, Oregon. It will show on ESPN on Saturday and the prelim races are scheduled to begin at 2:20pm. They are facing probably the toughest competition they have ever had.

As many of you know, Sophie Curl is Betty's daughter. For those of you who don't know, Betty (one of our Customer Service Reps) pretty much runs the Club and is our unofficial social director, making sure you know someone from the moment you walk in our door.

Becca Friday is my daughter's best friend since second grade and our families are very close. Becca has faced many personal challenges this last year and is simply an amazing gal.

I've known both girls since they were very small. It is a wonder to me to watch them, my own kids, and all their great friends grow up to be such splendid young adults. Sophie & Becca graduated from high school this year; Sophie from Squalicum and Becca from Bellingham High School. Sophie is headed off to University of San Francisco and Becca to the University of Oregon where their running programs are eager to have them. Lucky they are! Good luck to both girls in this weekend's event. ~ Robin Robertson
