Note from Stacey

Yesterday was a good day. The coach had us pick numbers for partners and we played a doubles tournament. Surprisingly, I won 3 out of 4 games. I felt good that I could keep up. After badminton I went out to dinner with the team. I tried to recruit them for trying rock-climbing, but was only able to hook one person, Stephanie. Stephanie was an Olympic alternate in badminton ten years ago, so she has the confidence to try lots of sports. Later, I went to the climbing gym. I climbed with Kelsey and Laura, who climbed in the December climb-a-thon for me. I led a 5.9, then then tried a 5.10b that they were doing and got stuck about 25 feet off the ground because it was a big roof and the rocks were far apart. Stacey, from Belmont
