Burning up the track

While I was out for a walk in the setting sun last night, something very different was unfolding across the country. News of Priscilla's silver medal run in Berlin was flashing across the country with speed that she's becoming more and more used to in the past few years.

Those who couldn't watch the race live caught glimpses of it on the evening news, or heard about it on the late news just before pulling up the covers. Along with the extensive coverage provided by cbc.ca, articles have appeared in various print media across the country:

• Allan Maki wrote Lopes-Shleep keeps her focus all the way to silver for the Globe and Mail;
• Rob Longley of Sun Media wrote Priscilla just getting started;
• Randy Starkman wrote Canadian shakes off drug test ..., for The Toronto Star;
• Eric Koreen of the Canwest News Service wrote Silver for hurdler Lopes-Shleep for the Ottawa Citizen;
• and closer to home, NEWSduhamregion.com has posted news about what Priscilla likes to eat after she's finished the race and telling everyone that Whitby's proud of her

Priscilla, we are all very proud of you. Congratulations!
