Dang, missed it.
Speaking of sportsmanship - apparently the NYT linked to a pirated YouTube video, which is why ESPN had it taken down???Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

I love that story! I'm so proud of those young women, they prove competition doesn't have to mean the absence of compassion.

Thanks for the re-post, I just assumed the reason that the link on the NYT was "no longer available" was that the video had been taken down at ESPN's request. Shows what I get for assuming Originally Posted by zencentury

Great story, anyway!Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Snork... I had to wonder if it would have happened if a game were on the line... but yea
I had to 'splain why I was all choked up... so I emailed it out just so that my friends wouldn't email it to *me* anyway 
yea, that's right ...

Since the ball went over the fence, it didn't really matter. If the ball had still been in play, it would have been a very different outcome. Originally Posted by Geonz
