Yesterday we went up to WWU because Linnea's rowing team, and 8 other Viking National NCAA Div II National Champion teams, were inducted into the WWU Athletic Hall of Fame.

How cool is that?

Coach, who led all of those teams, was there, as was Courney, the current coach, who btw stroked the first of those winning teams way back when. They both talked about how being a student athlete, especially in rowing, changed your college experience... I mean, those 4am wake ups to be on the water at 5am! But they also talked about how every woman who ever wore a WWU unisuit, whoever sat in one of those Vespoli shells was part of all this. But also how those 5am workouts were how teams were formed, all of them.

It was good.

I'm so proud of my baby girl!

The local paper got the best shot. Courtney is known for the big group selfies she takes and they got her taking one -or trying to- of the whole event!

What an honor for her! It certainly does take a high level of commitment.
