Unfortunately her father was typical of the one in this story and he was a verbal tyrant at every one of her races...There were times when he reduced her to tears.
She never made it to college, perhaps due to the driving and abusive behavior of her father, I suspect he drove her out of running..........
I heard that after Stormy dropped out of running, the father then focused his attention on her younger sister......
Sounds much like our abusive Little League baseball manager. His boy was on the team, and an outstanding center fielder. Quiet, sensitive kid with a great arm for his age. Could gun down runners like a rifle shot from the outfield. The old man insisted he be a pitcher, and put him on the mound in the middle of a game. Then, proceeded to scream at him from the dugout. Poor kid folded under pressure. Couldn’t throw worth spit. The old man called a time out, and marched out to the mound. He grabbed the boy’s shirt front, slapped him across the face and screamed “SETTLE DOWN AND ACT LIKE A MAN!” Both dugouts emptied, followed by everyone in the bleachers. The old man was lucky to get off the field alive. His boy never touched a baseball again.
