If anyone is going to pull through this, it’s him. He has everyone in Grand Lake pulling for him.

It’s not the wife-and-husband-and-two-kids-type thing anymore. We get mothers and grandmothers and two kids, and whether Dad’s in the picture, well, we don’t ask questions.

I’m following the same footsteps. Now that I know what (the state meet) is like, it’s going to be easier to get relaxed and get focused. Last year, since it was my first year at...
