I thought of that Olympic snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis falling on her ass in the 2006 Games.

I thought of that Olympic snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis falling on her ass in the 2006 Games.

Was talking about her this morning with a boarder from West Dover. Funny that.

Shot this local girl many years ago. In this, the state 100-meter final, she raised 'em 10 feet from finish line but had smoked field so badly that she had no choice but to win. She was a freshman. Won 200 too.

Typically, you would think it would be the UW guy showboating and the scrappy Oregon runner zipping past him. Man bites dog here. Good story.
