It’s always fun to get your name in the newspaper. I remember the first article that mentioned my name and I was so excited! But what happens if you look at a headline that’s not positive. It’s like– can this person say that about me?
I bring this up because I noticed this on Sunday. One of the star track and field runners in San Luis Obispo is Jordan Hasay. She has been a national champion, and she is very well known in the track and field community. But after she placed 10th at Nationals, our hometown paper The Tribune printed an article which was titled “Pressure catches up to Hasay.”
I was shocked– talk about hometown support– not! People feel that they can say anything that they want if you a well known athlete– but athletes are people too– and if others took the time to realize that hey, if I was this person– I wouldn’t want this to be said about me! But do they– nope. 🙁

First of all– there are not many people that have accomplished what Jordan has done, and she’s human!! I think that she handled the situation very professionally and she proved that she is a class-act.
Keep up the great work Jordan and good luck at Worlds in Cross Country! 🙂
