Started Cross Country in High School, ran in college, and have competed ever since. Even at a place as "exclusive" as the UW with scholarship athletes and all welcomed anyone who wanted to train and race. Found races for everybody.

While I was at UCD (68-72) we had a woman train with the CC and Track team. Made the Olympics in '76. We also had a woman play on the JV soccer team, as the men's team was the only one available. You don't have to be troglodytes to be competitive athletes.
