She missed making All-Stars by 3.4 points. She needed 100 to advance. She came to find me where I was working the scoring table and with tears in her eyes said, "I messed up my inward."
"But you got a 96.60!"
"But I needed 100."
"But you got 5th!"
"But I'm not going to All-Stars."
"But you were better than approximately 75 other girls in your age group in our Division. And only 4 (FOUR) are better than you.... And most of them age-up next year. You will own this meet in 2007."
And she conceded that perhaps she actually was Amazing, and the more people who recognized it throughout the day, the bigger her smile got.
