TWO BIG WORDS

runguru June 7, 2012

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone that came out for David Adams Olympic Trials fundraiser last night. We had a turnout of well over 100 fans and friends. Our goal of raising $3500 was easily met due to the kindness of so many people.

Thank you to WOWT and KPTM for coming out and giving some well deserved coverage to David. I hope you caught their coverage on the 10:00 news, if not you can still catch it on line.

Thank you to Rachel Carrizales who drove all the way from Grand Island to support her teammate. And to Eric Rasmussen who drove in from York. And to Matt & Meghan Schneider who came in from West Point. And to the dozen and more other Team Nebraska mates that were on hand to either participate in the workout or just be there for moral/financial support. I love this team.

Thank you to Burke High School for the facility, and especially Coach Mike Mingo, you are now officially on my Christmas Card list.

Thank you to all the contributors that provided raffle prizes. The biggie of the night was a Garmin thingy valued at nearly $300.

Thank you to Gary Wasserman for being such a classy guy. He won the Garmin and proceeded to give it to Luka Thor. More than a couple moist eyes over such a kind and generous gesture.

Thank you to the parents that brought your kids out, those 100 meters with David will be a memory they can have forever.

Thank you to David for bringing such a bright spotlight to Team Nebraska, who we are, what we are about. Thank you to wife Bethany for being there for David and supporting his dream.

Thank you. Two big words that can hardly express the gratitude and appreciation I feel towards the entire running community. I know David feels the same.

I hope these kiddos get a chance to look back on this pic in another 20 years. Silas Wilson (in the hat) threw in a big surge to nip David at the line.

Matt Pohren has been a regular training partner of David’s. So have Luka Thor and Andrew Jacob. All have benefited greatly from the team centered training.
