Lil Pete qualified for the Junior Olympics yesterday by winning an Under-20 event at Wilkes yesterday. She made a friend as well. It was a mixed event and she and another girl managed to make it an all girls final. The girl's Dad is an easy going but very sharp Russian coach who just started training her seriously due to physical problems and her progress has been amazing. I guess watching tape with Dad was pretty effective. Look out Keystone games, the NEPA girls are getting serious. Lil' Pete said that yesterday's gold was her 28th medal not counting a couple bogus ones where events made awards down to 8th place. On the very good news front, her coach was able to come yesterday and we now have a laundry list of things to fix.
