They took out the 49ers, the Rams, then snuffed the life out of the team that triumphed over us in the most painful turnabout moment in NFL history. This is like the end of the Godfather, where Michael Corleone destroys his enemies one by one with brutality. Unreal. Cinematic.

Final score for girls 3A are in: Tides girls will collect the 3rd place trophy for team track and field. We were just trying to get people here and shoot our shot. Kids did a great job all around and honored our culture of preparation and competition and we are SO PROUD!!

Izzy Harruff lost a runoff for the last spot out of the league meet in 2024 as a frosh. Today she is 7th in state in the 100m and hungry for more. You’ve come a long way kiddo and we are so proud! More to go!

Today’s big start: a tired Lejla Carlsson nevertheless runs down 2 to finish 2nd in the 800m. New school record, breaking the great Michelle Teodoro’s record from 1995. What a run!!

Opened up my feed to see I hadn’t finished pointing out that Karin Heikkila made finals despite a near fall in the 300H. Ranked 5th going in.

Finals of the girls 100H just now. Massive lifetime best for Eisley Hering in 14.89 and equally big lifetime best for Karin Heikkila also up for 6th in 15.09!! Both into a significant headwind. This was a super tight race with many returnees…keep your eyes on these two. 👀

Izzy Harruff in the 100m final! First tides girls in roughly three decades to do so. 12.28 lifetime best surviving a testy start (one DQ due to false start and one due to misfire.)

This site feels like tweeting (or X-ing into the void?) these days. But I’m still gonna live TWEET this state meet when it matters. 😤

I keep getting the question.. what is your favorite hamstring injury prevention exercise? ... Sprint Often !!! The only thing that loads it like sprinting is sprinting. Don't preach specificity ... practice it.

I’d like to thank Kevin Eager and WSTFCA for possibly the best speaking gig I’ve ever experienced. All 4 presentations were packed. Tons of notes taken. Heads nodded consistently (a presenter’s nirvana). Lots of laughing. Tears too. Hope to return to Tacoma someday. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
