Sarah took a gap year and ran cross country with her club and helped out at Gunn track meets this spring.  I do not know her personally, but all the parents at Gunn know who she is, and she seemed happy and engaged with the meets while she helped. 

The previous year she made it possible for Gunn to win the CCS women's title over highly favored Los Gatos by running in the 800, the 1600, and the 3200.  There was some concern about asking her to run so many events--especially the 800 which was not her specialty--but along with great support from several other outstanding girls (proud father here) Gunn eeked out a 3 point victory--something it could not have done without Sarah's extra effort.  At the state meet, Sara won the 1600 in dramatic fashion after the first and second place leaders collided and fell in front of her just a couple hundred meters from the finish.  She finished 2nd in the 3200 at the state level.

Sarah was a quiet leader on her high school team and much loved by her teammates.  All of us wish her the very best at Stanford, where she will receive a first rate education regardless.
