My sister got to go to the SO up in Berkeley this weekend, (she comes back tonight) She is autistic, so this was a big thing for her.

She did track n' field and according to my parents she won a silver in 100 meter, and she had just sent my parents a cell pic of her gold for what she says was throwing a stick.

My mom says with the gold she just might make the nationals. We are so proud of her.

She was one of two that went to her school.

Will do!

Edit: she got a second gold medal for long jump. Knowing her that's not hard to imangine.

it looks like she won't. It happens the 2nd of July and it's not enough time for my family to get ready for all that. Plus she tends to walk away from the group and they are in Iowa this year.

my brother and i will be a Anaheim at the same time, and someone has to stay home with the dog.

So unless they tell us real soon, she may not be going.
