Erin was ready for a big year of outdoor track and led off the season with a PR of 5:17 in the mile
She planned to run more middle-distance events, such as the 800m and 4x400. But in late April her quad starting hurting more and more
and a high-grade stress fracture in the femur was discovered. She was immediately ordered to stay on crutches for 6 weeks, followed by another 6 weeks of light exercise, and then she'll have an MRI in July to be cleared to return to running.
If the recovery goes well she should be able compete in cross country
The girls track and field team had a tremendous season and won the state championship for the second year in a row. Including the cross country season, this year's team ran the table by winning every single meet that they entered. They are losing 2 All-Americans from the field events, but with Erin and the distance crew coming back they will be favorites again next year.
Erin was prom-posed for Junior Prom
She went with a group of friends

Caroline shared this photo of her research poster. The results came from many cold afternoons collecting frozen soil and then prepping them in a chemistry lab.
Caroline's pickup from Dartmouth completely filled my RAV4
It is great to have Caroline home
