Selina Soule spent years training in the hopes of securing a college scholarship and leaving behind a legacy at her high school by setting new records in track.
But those plans were temporarily put on hold one day at the Connecticut Indoor Track & Field State Championships in 2019 when she placed one spot away from qualifying for the finals and the subsequent opportunity to compete at the New England Regional Championships.
That meant missing a crucial opportunity to compete in front of recruiters and secure financial aid that would help alleviate the heavy burden of the cost of college for her family.

Indeed. The very concept of an "athletic scholarship is a travesty of academics in every way. So, you can play sportsball well? Who really gives a damn?

I'm not a big fan of taxation in any of its various forms, but I think it is way past time that we start taxing the endowments of universities and 'not for profit' foundations. The pass we give them enables them to do great evil. Frankly, I'm sick of it all.
Yup. Interesting isn't it? Some truths may not be spoken.
As one astute FReeper said a few days ago ... “If we are going to have this ‘equality’ nonsense, let’s go all-in on it.”
Thanks for the mention.
I detest what they are doing to women’s sports, and it’s
glaringly silent in the NOW arena.
Because they fear the name-calling that will follow more than they dislike the dishonesty of calling things what they are not.
As per part three of my tagline, TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
