I heard this story this morning on the news and couldn't believe what I heard, so I had to look it up on line further.

 Being a father of 3 girls around this young lady's age, I am very proud to see a female athlete excel at such a high level.  All of us who continued to promote Title IX, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_IX ,  have to look at this as a great day for woman's athletics.  It will always be a debate whether boys and girls should play on the same court/field, but I would think this shows not only it can be done, but they can dominate!

 As a coach, the only objection I had to this story was the score of one of her games, 90-7!  There is no reason in events at this level, and probably any other, for a score to get that far out of hand and no reason for the coach to seem proud of that.  If there is any problem, it rests in a coach not managing the game properly.  I have written about this problem before, http://playsportstvblogs.com/billsniffen/2007/12/question_for_coach_bill_1.html

But, since we like to focus on the positive, congratulations to Twelve-year-old Jaime Nared on her accomplishments and we look forward to hearing more about her in the future!
