Moving On From Yesterday's Drama
Today is a fantastic day and it was soooooooooooooo worth all the drama. Mostly.
Ryan has decided to go ahead and stay with UNT. Most universities don't offer very many full ride scholarships for track and we haven't talked to many who were willing to say, up front, that they'd allow her to play basketball AND high jump. TCU and Oklahoma State are pretty interested and I just got an email that Kansas is, but I think UNT is the right place for her.
But the good news? We found out on Monday that Ryan made the All Region Basketball Team for the 2nd year in a row. We were really pumped about that. She's the only girl from her school to do that. And now? She is the ONLY girl to make the ALL STATE TEAM!!! Yay!!! We are just beside ourselves!! Crazy! I'm so excited for her, I just can't even express that enough.
Also, her jump of 5' 10" is the highest jump in the state so she's qualified to compete in Texas Relays. The other girls from her track team can't go (if they qualified) because that is held the same weekend as their District track meet, which she was to compete in (and take 1st or 2nd) to move on to Regionals or state. BUT... Ryan will most likely go because she will jump on the first day of the district meet and then she's done and Texas Relays are that Friday and Saturday.

Sounds like a much better day! Congrats, once again, to Ryan, she's pretty remarkable.
