Last day of Competition - Thursday July 22nd, 2010

Wow, so Team NC started out with a Silver in the 4x100 Relay, at 9am. Gillian ran her 800 at 10:30 and it was getting hot out there. Topping off the day with the 1500, winning the silver at 3pm.

Video Clip here: http://www.ncdm.tv/148/
This is 8 minutes long, and a bit Low Res, but has the whole day in one clip.

Friday was a Travel day for Jim & Joanne, getting back so we could pick up Gillian at General Aviation at RDU Airport. Where the Cesna Airlift was bringing back part of the NC Teams, and coaches. Gillian's plane was the slowest of the 6 planes. Their trip was 4 hours, the others' were 3 hours. Gary called his mom from the plane, and said, "One of the other planes just passed us..!"

Clips of the landing, hopefully tomorrow.
Enjoy.

Last Day for Team NC - Track & Field

Wow again, what a day. Too many medals to keep track of. Eventually there will be a list for all 12 of our amazing athletes. Coaches did amazing work, more on Bernies' strategy sessions with Gillian today to recover from her 800, and come back to come in Second in her 1500.

So... there's the sneak preview.

In the 4x100 relay this am, they got silver. Kristine did an amazing job of holding onto Ryan's fantastic start, passing to Samantha, who passed to Gillian to bring home the SILVER for the team.

Her 800, well, I will let tomorrow's Video speak on that. And her 1500, she paced exactly as Bernie and she discussed, and turned on the gas once again, to nail her run with another SILVER. So, Ms. Gillian comes home from 4 events with 3 SILVER medals clanging on her neck.
