Photo 01:  We don't know about Margaret Angell, but our mom definitely told us (1) not to read while lying down because it is bad for our eyes and (2) to always take off our shoes before we jump on the bed.

Photo 02:  Yes, Margaret Angell and Charlotte Cutler, our coaches always tell us to stretch properly before racing.

Photo 03:  On the 800m race starting line with Charlotte Cutler.  Her 2:15.26 time is her season's best.

Photo 04:  On the 800m race starting line with Kim Mannen.  Her post-race review: "This time, I got down to 2:31 after that 2:35 in the relay two days ago.  This shows that I am recovering from my cold."

Photo 05:  Trackside conference among Chris Potter, Devon Sargent, Erik Goetze and Margaret Angell, all in that famous orange jacket.

Photo 06:  At the start of the women's distance medley relay with Devon Sargent.

Photo 07:  Devon Sargent hands off to Melissa Tidwell, a last-minute replacement for Lee Shearer on the 400m leg.

Photo 08:  Charlotte Cutler looks blurry in the 800m leg but the Yale University runner gets a free photo.

Photo 09:  Margaret Angell is the mile runner on the anchor leg.

Photo 10:  The field photographer Isaya Okwiya was given these instructions: "Don't worry about race photos, because chances are that this tiny stealth camera will not do a good job.  The important thing is to get a group portrait of the women's distance medley relay team together.  This will be our recruitment poster!"  This is the preparation photo of Melissa Tidwell, Margaret Angell, Devon Sargent and Charlotte Cutler.  In one sense, we like it even better than the marquee picture that comes next, because they are simply attentive to each other as a team should and totally oblivous of the camera as yet.

Photo 11:  This is our recruitment poster of Melissa Tidwell, Margaret Angell, Devon Sargent and Charlotte Cutler, looking into the camera --- self-assured, confident, proud, playful, elated, unified, ... and will sail right onto the top 10 favorite photos of the year.  And to think that this is not our only such team, as we can easily imagine a team of Sonja Ellmann, Lee Shearer, Kim Mannen and Lauren Eckhart would be just as speedy and drop-dead gorgeous.
