Erin's going to the Finals!!!!

So last night Erin qualified for the finals of the Olympic Trials. So she will jump on Sunday at 3:40. She jumped very well despite horrible winds that were changing direction every 30 seconds or so. She started at 13'5" and cleared it by a foot and a half on her first attempt!!! She then cleared 13'9" on her first attempt. Then the bar went to 14'1" and she didn't make it, but she was in the top 12 so she has 2 days to get ready for the finals!!! I'm so proud of her!!! Good luck on Sunday!!!

Erin and I are in Eugene now for the 2008 Olympic Team Trials. Everything is going good so far. She jumps tonight (July 3rd) at 7:10 for the prelims and then the finals will be on Sunday (6th) at I think 3:20. Here are some pictures of the trip so far.
