15 people for frisbee. Other team had sub. My team turned it over early so other team scored first. Then we traded points till we were down 2-3, having never led. Then we scored 3 straight for the win. It was somewhat windy and other team was faster and doing a zone defence, so I'm happy with the W.

Been a busy few days. No time for workout. At state qualifier track meet- my freshman missed qualifying for state by 4 seconds in the 1600, but did PR by 7 seconds. She did the risky strategy of starting very slow, trailing everyong by 4 seconds at 400m and 5 seconds at 800m. She slowly gained on the slower runners then kicked very hard with 300m to go, moving from dead last to 4th place in 200 m. However, she was in the slower heat and missed advancing by 2 places. She was excited with the new strategy and big PR, though. At the start of the season, she ran 6:25, and ran 5:34 today.

Her distance team is very good. They have the fastest time at 4x8 in the state (9:29) and have 5 distance girls going to state championship.
